Come, ye children. . . I will teach you the fear of. . . (Psalm 34:11)

Santa Claus. . .

You better watch out,
You better not cry
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why Santa Claus is comin' to town
He's making a list,
He's checking it twice
He's gonna find out
Who's naughty or nice


Children the world over are taught to FEAR Santa. You’d better go to bed little boy – Santa is watching. Millions of fearful children are told, "You’d better behave. Santa is watching. You might not get anything for Christmas."

Would not Psalm 76:7 certainly apply to Santa Claus in the eyes of most children?

Psalm 76:7
Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?

The fear of the Lord is the "beginning" of the Christian faith. As is the fear of Santa is the beginning of the faith of Santa.

Psalms 111:10
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom:. . .
While our children should be taught the fear of the Lord, most are taught the sacrilegious fear of the false god of Santa.

Psalm 34:11
Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD
