I say, "Go for it". Some people are going to complain no matter what happens, they seem to live for it. Like one song says facetiously, "If you want to be one of his, gotta act like one of us!" One of my favorite pictures at Christmas is with Santa kneeling with the shepherds at the manger. From what I understand, Niklaus was a Godly man, and some of the legend is true, that he gave gifts to children in secret. Satanists like Santa because he is used as a distraction from the truth of Christmas, or even as a substitute for the true meaning. I told my kids that he is not real, and that he is a symbol of the spirit of giving. We can use that as a springboard for the Gospel message. Looks like we’re in agreement so far. I say, “Go for it”.

It helps to pull together the "myth" of Santa with the very "willing gift" from our Lord, Jesus Christ. If there is no one who will challenge beliefs, then beliefs can not be explained in a way that persons who are not "Christ-followers" can understand. It is extremely important that we be able to meet others on middle ground. If one is disapproving of anything that happens in others daily lives, they have no conduit to invite or expect others to come to church. We must accept people where they are (Christ did) and get them in church. Once there, Christ will do the rest. It's a poor society when folks do not know that the John 3:16 signs flashed at ball games pertain to a scripture in the Bible. They think they are reaching millions -- most of those people have never read the Bible. I love the Santa cartoon.

That whosoever believes in him should not perish but receive everlasting life. God Almighty was the first Santa Claus or Gift Giver... however you want to put it. He gave us our first Christmas present and our first Valentine gift! We can only describe God in ways that our language allows and we sometimes have to use characters and symbols that are very popular, some may be not so popular, to describe God's attributes, qualities, and gifts!

I was not bothered in any way by your Santa cartoon. If "Santa upsets some readers", oh well, Jesus upset people too. My pastor says all the time that Jesus drank too much (for the Jewish leaders) and partied too much (with the wrong kind of people. He talked to women, he made friends with tax collectors, and caused riots, even worked on the Sabbath. You keep doing what you are doing. Never apologize for something you did right. Apologies are for the guilty. Your critics need to find something productive to do.

The KJV Movement is quite a strong one in some parts, but I beg to differ with those who believe that the KJV is the only good Bible translation. I'd advise that any translation you use be one that is based on Formal Equivalence (word for word) rather than Dynamic Equivalence (thought for thought). Dr. Leland Ryken does an excellent job of easily explaining the criteria for Bible versions with his book "Choosing a Bible: Understanding Bible Translation Differences" which can be downloaded here: http://static.crossway.org/excerpts/1581347308.1.pdf Apart from this a there's also a chart which assists in understanding the differences in translations as well: http://www.zondervan.com/images/cms/Bibles/bible_transchrt_js.jpg Soli Deo Gloria Greetings Mike,
