OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT SANTA CLAUS THEOLOGY, TELLING CHILDREN, SAVING CHRISTMAS VACATIONS Click Here to Visit our Sponsors. The theology of Santa Santa, as taught to most children, has most of the attributes of God: He is virtually omnipresent . He can visit hundreds of millions of homes in one night. He is omniscient . He monitors each child; he is all-seeing and all-knowing; he knows when they are bad and good. Although not omnipotent, he does have great powers. He can manufacture gifts for hundreds of millions of children, and deliver them in one night each to the correct child. He is all-good and all-just . He judges which children have shown good behavior and rewards them appropriately. Bad children are bypassed or receive a lump of coal. He is eternal He rewards good and punishes bad behavior. However, there are negative aspects to Santa's behavior that can damage a child's self-esteem: In practice, children are not rewarded with gifts according to their behavior; they receive presents according to the amount of money that their parents are willing or able to spend on them at Christmas time. A child may receive little or nothing from Santa because his/her parents are poor. Unfortunately, the child has probably adsorbed from the media and their friends only bad children get nothing from Santa. He/she might begin to look upon themselves as a bad person. This may well damage their self esteem.

Free E-mail Newsletters About Us Contact Us Index ... Search Pay and Benefits Watch November 28, 2002 Holidaze By Brian Friel bfriel@govexec.com It’s that time of year again. Time to start wondering whether President Bush will give federal employees extra time off during the holidays. If you’re a gambler, bet no. First of all, the president never gives federal employees a free holiday on the day after Thanksgiving. It’s just not done, according to Office of Personnel Management records. When presidents give federal workers extra time off, it’s usually near Christmas: on Christmas Eve when Christmas itself falls on a Tuesday and on Dec. 26 when Christmas falls on a Thursday. For example, in 2001, Christmas fell on a Tuesday and President Bush gave federal workers Monday off (Christmas Eve). In 1997, when Christmas fell on a Thursday, President Clinton gave workers the day off on Friday, Dec. 26. When Christmas falls on a Friday, workers sometimes get a few extra hours off on Christmas Eve. When Christmas was on a Friday in 1998, for example, President Clinton gave workers a half-day off on Christmas Eve, Thursday, Dec. 24. Bah, Hump-bug

Memorial Day: A Time of Reflection More of this Feature Part 2: Remember the Living On This Site Memorial Day Elsewhere on the Web Every Day is Memorial Day The History of Memorial Day Part 1: Memorial Day Basics One of the things Americans celebrate on Memorial Day is the memory of soldiers killed in wars. The holiday has its origins in ceremonies to honor soldiers killed in the American Civil War, way back in 1866. And as American soldiers have fought in several wars since then, the holiday has absorbed memorials to fallen soldiers in those wars as well. Memorial Day, then, is a holiday to remember soldiers killed in wars, both at home and abroad. And how do Americans celebrate this holiday? By attending cemetery ceremonies and downtown parades, among other things. It is a federal holiday, so a great many adults do not have to work. It is usually a day off from school as well, so children can be with their families. Most American children have someone in their family (living or dead) who fought in a war. If they don't, then they probably know someone who did. In a certain way, Memorial Day is as much about the soldiers who survived the wars as the ones who did not.

By way of introduction, the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) is a not-for-profit public interest and educational group.

Most of these organizations are separationist in philosophy and practice, some of them (eg., ACLU, Americans United for Separation of Church and State) aggressively so. The document lays to rest the myth that prayer and other types of religious expression are banned in the public schools. On the contrary, religious expression generally enjoys the same protection as other forms of speech. This document forms the basis of President Clinton's guidelines for religious expression in the public schools. A copy of these guidelines were sent to all public school districts in the United States in September of 1995.
