If I was Pres. Trump's Speechwriter...

I learned earlier today that President Trump (still feels surreal to write that) will be addressing the March for Life.  

What might he say?  Or perhaps… if I was one of his speechwriters, what would I put in front of him? 

It would need to be heartfelt, honest, compassionate, and still retain a good bit of polemical zing.  And - let's face it - the thing would need to be a bit self-congratulatory to sound genuine. 

So here’s what I’d float across President Trump’s desk:

Should we Teach the Santa Myth?

One question I’ve brought up at Youth Ministry is whether we as Christians should continue to perpetuate the Santa Myth.  And by the Santa Myth I mean the following:

“Convincing children that there is a man who lives at the North Pole who monitors their behavior and annually distributes presents.”

My position is:  No.  This is both immoral and counterproductive to raising children in the Christian faith.

Today I’m going to defend this claim with a somewhat Thomistic flair.
