There is much lore about how Santa Claus came to be. And lots of cynics will tell you it?s part of the commercialization of Christmas, a plot by the retailers and greeting card industry to get people to spend lots of money each year.
I have my own theory on the origins of Santa Claus. The whole concept was devised by a parent, probably one with at least three kids like me. Think about it. Santa only brings presents to good little boys and girls. Parents are always looking for some enticement to get kids to behave. And, Santa is always watching to see if you?ve bad or good. Simply brilliant! Now we just need to work this into other times of the year?
