7. The "controlling their behavior" part has parallels, too with the Jesus guy..
for the adults, (or at least they THINK it does).

Remember, they THINK that, without a Jesus and a guy in the sky, they would be out there murdering and raping and stealing.

So it's not that surprising that they think Santa keeps their kids in line for a couple weeks before Christmas.
