Losing sight

To the editor: In reference to your article about Santa Claus coming to school, I believe people are losing sight of what that mother was trying to say. This is becoming an argument about what adults want - and not about what is good for the children. Children in elementary school (or any grade for that matter) who do not celebrate Christmas feel left out when there is a Santa Claus breakfast. For those of you who are arguing for Santa, try to put yourself in the shoes of a child who doesn’t have Santa dropping presents down their chimney. Would you want to go sit on the lap of a man who doesn’t bring you present but brings them to other children? It is hard enough to survive in society not being Catholic; now you want them to have to do it in school as well. A winter wonderland breakfast with just Frosty the Snowman would have been much nicer and would not have offended anyone. The PTA needs to start thinking about the children, not about themselves.
