Q. Can I buy some very discounted toys for my children (a real bargain), the catch is that they will be delivered around the 25 of December by a fellow dressed as Santa. Is that permitted?

A. It is likely that this may be a subsidized campaign or a religious drive to provide toys for needy families with children and thus also spread their seasons devout message. Therefore, Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is to avoid profiting from or sponsoring their efforts.
