I do think about that a lot, and how not receiving gifts is explained as a consequence for bad behavior. As a kid, if you notice all the poor kids aren’t getting gifts, isn’t the obvious implication that they’re all naughty?

Naughty kids get clean-burning coal, the backbone of our Nation’s energy supply. If the poor kids would just save up their coal and start a Koch competitor, they wouldn’t be poor.

Santa is just another part of the American Civic Religion that reinforces prosperity gospel. The rich children are rewarded by gifts from Santa while the poor are punished by being ignored.
