Does it seem like christians never stopped playing santa as kids, but just evolved the game and got super serious about it?

Not if you're at least as smart as a fifth grader

You didn't get out much as a kid, did you.

Yes, I think that's accurate.

i think it does seem that way

If only they were an 'grown up' as YOU are. 

Santa's for kids. When you mature, you don't tell God what you want, you ask Him what He wants...." thy kingdom come, thy will be done."...you may have heard that prayer before.....and "thy will, not my will."

You mean super silly about it .

lol. Kinda like Leftists still thinking that Trump colluded with the Russians! Yeah. It's just like that. Me and Santa, we are TIGHT!
