Boyd K. Packer on Santa Claus

I just read a bunch of quotes from General Authorities about Santa Claus. All of them were favorable towards Jolly old Saint Nicholas.  :-)  This was my favorite:

Boyd K. Packer

I want to emphasize that I have no quarrel with that well-fed gentleman with the red suit and the white whiskers. He was very generous to me when I was a boy, and we are looking forward with great anticipation to his visit at our home. All of those things with reference to Christmas are appropriate and good, and all of them are for children--except, I suppose, the mistletoe.

From "Keeping Christmas," a 1962 BYU Devotional.
