 My family doesn't celebrate Santa Claus at Christmas. We don't put Santa decorations in our house or on our lawn. We never told our son that Santa would bring him presents. We never took him to get pictures with Santa. In fact, the first time our son saw someone dressed up like Santa, he thought it was someone dressed as Moses because all the story book drawings of Moses depict him having a long white beard and wearing a robe. And yes, I was one of those evil parents who encouraged my son to tell other kids that Santa isn't real. Santa has never had a place in our home, and he never will.

 Around this time of year, a lot of Christians try to explain the genealogies in Matthew and Luke by saying that Matthew gives Joseph's genealogy while Luke gives Mary's genealogy. While this is technically true, I think that it causes more confusion than necessary. The proper way to view the two genealogies is not as those of Joseph and Mary but rather as the genealogies of Joseph and Jesus.
