Well, that is true, however the guy we're talking about had no resemblence to the type of Santa that is being paraded around the earth with his reindeers and gift giving antics.

Quote:Considering ‘Christmas’ originated as a Pagan ‘holiday’ celebrating the seasonal change, etc…even atheists and agnostics can ‘celebrate’ this merry day of eating, drinking, gift giving and utter mayhem! (I added in ‘utter mayhem.’ Do that at your own risk.) Big Grin
Well, its a cultural thing, first. So its okay for those who profess to the culture that holds Christmas in high regard to celebrate the holiday.
