Robin Roberts, You just HAD-to-SPILL (of ALL THINGS) about Santa. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!!! Maybe you thought you’d get an ‘Abe Lincoln’ Badge-of-Honor for your thoughtLESS plight! You obviously have a selfish NEED to get the CREDIT for buying gifts with your very own hard-earned money, instead of momentarily crediting a fat man in a red suit…so be it. But leave your own insecurities at home next time you decide to crush child’s most precious fantacy! Enjoy your short-lived attention on this matter…and if you must confess fantacies… think about it every time you look in the mirror to put on your pretty red lipstick, that matches your pretty red dress, over your flattering spanx garments. Now, “would I lie to you?”!!

How fascist of Fox News to have to censor the truth. What retailer or cyclical, consumer discretionary corporation(s) called the station to prevent the slowing of future sales?

Fox: stop pushing religion as the only way to celebrate time with family!

I am father of one, I have always believed in Santa especially since I was 7, I came from a home of little money and Santa showed up at my door bearing gifts. Even if he does not exist in person. The idea of sharing and caring still needs a figurehead.

I would agree with robin if she was a christian or not. Why tell your children lies. The media has transformed the day of celebrating the birth of jesus to a money making venture. Robin statement made her channel mad because 1. Santa is accepted in our culture. 2.) that will hinder the business aspect of christmas. christmas isn’t about gifts. The 3 wise men brought gifts to jesus manger. that doesn’t mean to make up a stupid story of a fat man in a red suit is going to give you exactly what you want for free with magical powers. Nothing in this world is free except for the love of Jesus.

As far as debunking the myth of Santa Claus, it is not about saying a man named St. Nicholas never existed who was kind to children and gave gifts to them. It is about debunking that a fat man in a red suit flies through the sky on a sleigh led by flying reindeer, who lands on people’s roofs to climb down their chimneys and give kids any and everything they want for Christmas.

When kids are old enough to understand simple concepts, they need to learn that getting presents is not primarily what Christmas is about. Yes, it’s ok for them to get gifts and to give (Christmas is a good time for kids to learn about giving also, not just getting). However, kids should learn what the getting and giving, or the celebration is really all about, that God gave us the greatest gift of all — His Son Jesus, because He wishes to see no one perish.

So celebrate Christmas with or without children, it’s a wonderful time of year. But celebrate it based on truth, the truth of the miracle of Jesus. Not about a flying Santa Claus and flying reindeer.

Typical of most idiots in this country. It isn’t for that news anchor or a teacher or anybody else to spoil something for a child. It is what the parent should do when they feel it is time.

Goodness, let children be children with their fantasies and magic. Let little girls be a princess. Let a boy be a pirate. Let children believe in Santa when they are little.

It isn’t up to anybody saying when a child should be in bed and there is no reason a parent with a child up after nine needs to be ashamed.

I am glad she had to apologize but she should have thought before she spoke.
