I dunno about everyone else but I find the whole santa thing disturbing. I thought "CHRISTmas" was about remembering that prophet who got murked on the cross...lying to and coddling weakness in children is why western culture is full of social disorders. By 8 an eastern world child knows as much as a 16 year old American. I'm sure they aren't as "happy" as an American youth but happiness is relative... Do you think the animals in the Zoo who look "happier" are truly better off than the ones in the wild? Peoples ideas of how they love their family are pretty warped.
