During the Christmas holiday season, images of Santa Claus are everywhere, and young children often line up to take pictures with adults dressed as Santa. Some people feel that children should not be led to believe that Santa Claus is real. But is this really ethical? Tricking children for money? This is unethical but there are plenty of benefits that Santa Claus brings.
Well, I think this should be banned. In a way, this is basically a massive fraud. This is just a way for toy manufacturers and other companies to earn more money. This is not beneficial for anyone except people who are already rich. And children could have a big breakdown when they find out that Santa Claus is not real. But Christmas is a joyful and delightful day for children. This is one of the days other than their birthday when they can get presents. Even though they could have a meltdown after they found out, they will have years of fun. And children are usually older enough to not cry over knowing that the easter bunny and Santa Claus are fake. But it could also show jealousy and show children the gap between the poor and the rich. Some children could get brand-new car toys, but some may just get a simple pencil. Another child can pick on another just because they got a bad Christmas present. But Christmas brings a lot of economical benefits. It will create more jobs and stock prices will rise. Sales also increase dramatically in almost all retail areas during the Christmas season. It will overall make stronger companies, make more jobs, and stock prices will go up. And nowadays where inflation is a big thing and people are saving their money, seasons like Christmas can really help. A ton of amounts of money are also generated from Christmas for kids. Movies, songs like carols, and malls will generate a lot of money. This will make more jobs like in malls and carol singing. It is also part of a tradition and religion. So it would be technically illegal for the United States of America to ban Santa Claus.
