This episode is mostly just my rant about what I think of Christmas traditions. The variety of traditions people have cause them to do things around christmas that they would never do otherwise. It shows just how robotic humans are and how unfree their wills are. There are most certainly causes for the different beliefs and traditions associated with christmas, but most people don't have a clue what they are.
More importantly though, why do parents lie to their kids about Santa Claus? Don't they see the negative effects that result from it later in their child's life?
