Dolly Parton"I still believe in Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and true love." --Dolly Parton

Don't let her age fool you -- the 63-year-old country legend is still a kid at heart. She warns skeptics, "Don't even try to tell me different."

Hey, man, you need to get a life, for your family, if nothing else. Family is where it is!!! As far as Dolly, I like her, I cut my teeth on her kind of music in the wonderful back hills of Eastern Ky. Dolly and we all know Santa, Easter Bunny, etc, etc. are all day dreams, we all or all should know that GOD is GOD and Jesus Christ is his son, died and bled (red) on the cross, so that we can go to heaven and be with him in Glory at the end of our time here, when he is ready for us. Check it out man, you might find out its true and get into a new Spirit.

God Bless you and God Bless America and our Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Air Force and all the others who wear the uniform/and or are fighting for our freedom in some other way, that we may not even realize. Check it out please!

Candace, in reply to your remark< we shouldn't celebrate the day our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ was born". Let's take a good long look at the Christmas holiday. Santa Claus? That has anything to do with Jesus? Christmas tree? Thanks the Victorians for that. Reindeer? LOL, yeah right. Yep to all you people out there I do HATE the holiday. But, I thank all the retailers shoving their crap down my throat starting at Halloween ( which is a great holiday). The rest of you like it? In debt for one day? And to the remark about me hating to put up a Xmas tree. Maybe I HATE having to move one of my antique carousel horses, and think the horses are better then a stupid tree. Some of us have taste. Others wish they did. Put up your plastic tree. Act like you love everyone around you, it is just one day. Am I the grinch? You bet, I even wear as shirt with my hero on it. Retailers love the people who buy into the entire Christmas season. I've been accused of not knowing what the holiday season means. HA, this comes from a bunch of "haters" who are , "in the spirt" for just a month or so out of the year. Some people are kind and giving ALL year long they just don't need a made up holiday to do it. As far as it being Jesus's birthday, well, your wrong on that, it isn't. December 25 is just a DATE that was picked. Look it up, read and learn it isn't Jesus birthday.

I don't believe in Santa per se but I do believe in the "spirit of giving" that should be within us all. We should want to give to others just for the joy of giving and helping others who are less fortunate. God gave his son's life for us, you know. That was the ultimate gift.

The funny thing is, that Santa Claus actually did once exist. Unlike the other three totally looney tunes fantasies she mentioned.

As much as I like Dolly, (and although I think you all are reading too much into this) I don't agree. Personally, I think that people try to teach their kids not to lie so I would never tell my kids that there is a santa unless I truly had faith that there was because what kind of an example would that make me? Not a very good one. I believe that honesty is important, it's not about a childhood fantasy it's about life long values. If I don't want my kids to lie to me, why would I lie to them? That's Just how I feel about that. Christmas on the other hand is a wonderful time to show love,and compassion to others as well as spending quality time with family. All important life values to have.
