Further musings on Santa Claus have taken me into the realm of "how do you explain Santa to children?" I have finally cornered it for me, I think.
Santa is what brings that which you can not get otherwise. If your parents can afford to buy you gifts, you shouldn't expect gifts from Santa under the tree. But keep your eye open and see if you can't spot Santa's gift. It won't come wrapped and probably will lack a bow. But somewhere, there is a gift from Santa in your season. All you have to do is watch for it.
This, by the way, is also why we can't pin the bugger down. He doesn't go to every house on Christmas Eve, only those who need it. Too many children in the world to get that done, even with magic on his side. No, Santa works all season long to get everyone their gifts.
