I would have taken this thread so much more serious if you'd just left out that last sentence. First of all, I'm sure Michael Jackson would repel children, not attract them.
As for what I think of Santa Clause, I'm kind of having mixed emotions. I don't believe in him, but that's just me. However, I do enjoy seeing the thrill younger children get whenever they're up on "Santa's lap". Being Christian, I somewhat believe Santa's taking away from teaching little children about the true meaning of Christmas (being so commercialized nowadays), but not so much that it'd make me hate the guy.
All in all, I believe Santa Clause is an enormous part of Christas, and without him, it just wouldn't be the same.
