I call it "Santa" just because it seems like a good name for it.
Wiki:
i completely agree! pagans, corporations, christians! at the end of the day, modern christmas is how you interpret it and choose to celebrate it (if you do at all).
whether or not you have personal qualms with celebrating the holiday is a different matter. to be honest, i have more issues regarding thanksgiving than i do christmas, but that's just me. i don't make it a point to do either unless my family throws a fit.

could i get a drink and an ashtray?
