#3 - Giving and receiving
Santa is the one with the generous heart: he gives gifts to the whole world! For the little children, they only have to wait for him to arrive while they sleep. Despite the parents being the ones who are giving the gifts, their children are exempt from acknowledging this act of kindness because of a fictional person.
Children are free to boast about all the great things that Santa gave them. They don't have to think about other people at Christmastime because it's not their place to give gifts: Santa does that! In short, Santa subtly teaches children to be selfish and greedy.
Acts 20:35
