He's right. It's about a magical moving star, it's about three men who bring, er, gifts, it's about angels (not those stupid non-existent elves) and it's about some man who both is and isn't God, who can perform magic and come back from the dead.
So you idiots who believe in Father Christmas remember that.
And it's about a savior who was born on Dec 25, the day that just so happened to be the winter solstice celebration that they could hijack from the pagans. Even though the Bible clearly says it couldn't have been on Dec 25. "Behold, the shepherds were abiding in their fields, keeping watch over their flock by night." Luke 2:8. The winter solstice was definitely not the grazing season.
