Dude…there are many fundamentalists out there regardless of race. So your part about 'it's like believing in Jesus' – I find humorous.

Making kids believe in Santa is the dumbest thing ever!! I've always thought the white kids in my class were dumb! How in the fricken world could you believe in that? It's like believing in Mickey Mouse or Daffy Duck!! Ridicule!! It's like believing in Jesus!!

My mom told me that in white families, the kids only got things at Christmas time. In our family, we got whatever we wanted whenever we wanted, on the condition of mom's approval. Without mom's approval, we would never ever get it, ever!! With mom's approval, we could get it right away!! Why wait if it's a good thing?

My father told me when I was a child that Santa wasn't goign to visit us because we'd moved from Korea and there was no Chimney forwarding service. Good one, Dad!

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I fully believed in Santa Claus as a child. I still imagined him as some fat white guy, but still! He gave presents to everyone all over the world. My biggest problem was that our house didn't have a chimney.

An anecdote: So, I was in a co-ed community service fraternity at UC Davis, which is 95% Asian. One of the projects we did was “Santa for Kids,” where we would travel to neighboring towns (mostly Latino) and give presents that we raised money for to the neighboring schoolkids – and of course – one of the guys would dress up as Santa Claus.

We had definitely heard “Porque es Santa un chinito?” more than once. It was kinda awesome.

Oh, don't feel so bad feeling left out. There's quite a lot of people out there, non-Asians especially, who don't even celebrate this holiday all together, mostly for religious reasons. However, we all agree that this is family time and many ideas like giving are greatly valued.

There's also this light-hearted link you all might find interesting. It's funny cause I read this right before I got on 8 Asians.
