Over the years, this time of the season has gone from being religious to also being commercialized. While most would say that Jesus is the religious icon; I think most people would agree that Santa is the epitome of the commercial holiday, especially for most kids.
Santa is seen as a giver of toys and good will to the kids of the world. If you are deemed good, he will give you presents for the hard work; if you are bad, you will get coal and switches. It is a tradition that most outgrow, but it helps younger kids get indoctrinated into respect and how to treat other people year-round. To that end, most would probably say that Santa Claus is a good role model for children.
OR IS HE?
Santa is also known as quite the ladies' man as he delivers toys to those unsuspecting children. There have been several times where people have told their stories about Santa Claus not being the jolly old soul we have come to love and know from popular culture. Some say also that the elves are sweatshop workers and that he is free to continue because there is no proof of his working outside the international law. Plus, no lawyer wants to take SANTA before the International Criminal Court.
Now that you have heard about both sides, which one do you think is true? Is Santa naughty or nice? Please back up your answers with examples.

Please, please, don't ruin fantasy about good old fat red nose Santa.... He already died when I was 6... And I am freakin' out cause my little sis believes in Santa... She is 6... And now to find out that he is bad... But, anyway, I don't know... I never thought about it... But after this, one thing's for sure: I knew that Santa should have been girl!
