<blockquote>It is wrong to tell children that Santa is not real. It is right to explain to them the Spirit of Christmas is indeed a person—a person made real in God, a person who is a [[cosmic being]], who fills the hearts of the people with the anticipation of the greatest gift of all, the gift of personal Christhood.</blockquote>
<blockquote>Está mal decir a los niños que Santa Claus no existe. Está bien explicarles que el Espíritu de la Navidad es una persona, una persona hecha realidad en Dios, una persona que es un ser cósmico, que llena los corazones de la gente con la esperanza del mayor de todos los regalos, el regalo de la Cristeidad personal.</blockquote>


<blockquote>Those things that bring delight to children—games and toys and things and rings in stockings—beloved hearts, originally the gifts given to the child of every heart were intended to enhance the child’s perception and realization of that Person of Christ. When you think about the gifts that are given these days, you realize that some gifts do assist the individual in a greater sense of identity, while others adorn the outer person and tend to create more [[maya]] of idolatry. And thus, attaching importance and attention to the outer self, the individual loses the great opportunity of this hour to truly enter into the heart of that cosmic being known as the Spirit of Christmas.</blockquote>
