Santa sold short

I COULDN’T believe my eyes when I saw the story about the vicar in England who told children Santa was dead (Irish Examiner, Dec. 11).

I was as upset as the vicar’s congregation and feel you, too, made a serious misjudgement.

Was the Irish Examiner so short of news that it was considered necessary to put that sorry story on the front page?

The Irish Examiner is on many doorsteps each morning and is picked up by children who are old enough to read and young enough still to have some faith in Santa and Christmas.

You are the modern-day equivalent of Scrooge. Not impressed.
