The song “Santa Claus is Comin’ To Town” puts it well with:
He sees you when you’re sleeping
He knows when you’re awake
He knows if you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
Goodness sakeYou better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
It’s mind boggling that parents tell their children about a mythical character who breaks into their house once a year, watches when they sleep, and then tells them not to cry… Creepy…
Anyway, Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

It’s even creepier when they change the Santa myth into god.
