Its about Nietzsches theory of universal debt. Your parents make it possible for you to believe a far better myth than Santa. They let you think that you, as a kid, dont owe the world a thing. The world can give you, even if just for a few minutes, utter joy without requiring anything from you. Its not about consumerism. As far as you know, no one buys you these presents. They come out of nothingness, with fantasies of elves attached. You arent required to be grateful to your parents or anything like that. They can give to you and nothing is required in return. When you get old enough, when you have kids, you get to enact this myth for them. It has nothing to do with any fat man in a red suit, no matter what we tell ourselves. Its about owing nothing, and then realizing that you have to do this job of perpetuating this this fantasy world, whether you like it or not.
