Santa Claus Indoctrinism

Santa Claus Indoctrinism is the world-wide belief in Santa Claus which parents and the media force onto children so they will behave nicely. The belief goes: Santa Clause is a real person who lives in the North Pole, and he makes a list of every good boy and girl and every bad boy and girl, and then on Christmas Eve, he travels the world delivering presents to all the good boys and girls, while the bad boys and girls get a lump of coal. This belief is meant to keep the children acting nice year-round in fear they wont receive presents from Santa Claus. The indoctrination is popular around the world, namely Western countries and especially the the USA.

Consumerism
Santa Claus Indoctrinism has been used to sell loads of toys and other goods during the Christmas season because parents must by toys to wrap up and give to their children so as to keep up the false belief that Santa is real and that he actually put those presents under their tree. Times like these have lead to events such as Black Friday, in which parents partake in shopping by Combatocratic means to acquire the lowest prices on gifts.

In Christianity
Santa Claus Indoctrinism is even practiced by Christians, despite Santa Clause having some inspiration deriving from Norse pagan mythology and there being no reference to a Santa Clause figure in the Bible - but even then, Christians delude their children into believing in a magical all-seeing being who always visits once a year on Christmas Eve of all times, the day it is presumed Jesus was born. "Presumed" I say because Christmas was once a pagan holiday, until Christians claimed it as a Christian holiday and called it Christmas so anyone celebrating it would indeed be celebrating the birth of Christ.

Effects on Children
Santa Claus Indoctrinism causes kids to throw around extremely childish (well... they are children) and cringe-worthy threats such as "I'm telling Santa what you did and hes gonna put you on the Naughty List!". Kids who don't believe in Santa for whatever reason are subject to ostracization and depicted as villainous, godless punks. Sometimes these kids try to capture Santa Clause by setting up a trap or trying to stay up all night, but "no ones has ever caught him" because hes too "smart and crafty". Most often is the case children put full faith in Santa Clause, sometimes caring more about him than the true meaning of Christmas, celebrating the birth of Christ, as if its one of the ten commandments - "Those shall not refute the existence of Santa Clause" - over some commandments such as "Those shall not worship other false gods",Thou_shalt_have_no_other_gods_before_me which could be considered heresy, only for them to eventually find out that Santa isn't real, yet still indoctrinate their children with the same ideas when they grow older.
