Allowable?
Or not?
Freedom of religion, or separation of religion and state? (mall considered "state" property?)

For me this is not just black/white (or red/white) lol.
We are to obey the laws of the land, lest they are against God.
First, of all the diversity of children going to see Santa - I know some Christians who will tell there children who Santa is and they understand he is ficticious. Yet, they still have gifts from Santa or let their child visit with him.
Then you have children from non-believing families, does this only confuse them all the more? Would it turn out that God used ashes for beauty and used the child as a witness to the parents?
Also, I'm trying to imagine how this would transpire when a child goes to see Santa. Also, is not the mall corporately owned?
Well that is my penny with what info was given.
