Well the promenant explanation of Santa is St Nicholas the "bringer of gifts". Like I said it's hardly an original concept.
I don't deny Christmas is pagan in origin, with many of those symbols, some of which you pointed out, observed today. My point was that Christians in pandering to these traditions along with the general populous are not enacting pagan ritual just going alomg with the obscene commercialism just like everyone else.
