Santa Clause is considered a harmless character

Satan, in the person of Santa Claus, has attempted to be "like the Most High". The danger of this should be obvious to every true child of God. There is another danger, however, that is not so obvious:

If we tell children that Santa Claus is real, only to reveal to them later that he is not, then when it comes time for them to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, who has these same attributes, they may not be willing to believe in Him and trust Him as their Saviour.

Take heed to God when He says: "A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape". -Proverbs 19:5

Satan has tried to steal the attributes of the Lord Jesus Christ and gain the glory that belongs only to God. Many children will worship at the feet of Satan this year as they glorify and reverence the devilish character of Santa Claus.
