The season is all about "shopping days until Christmas."
Thanksgiving Day becoming Signal Day that the 'buying binge' has begun.
The commercialization of Christmas or making holy sacralization of Business ?
If they had to chose just one, which one would be more indispensable to merchants the Christ child or Santa Claus ?
At this point, has Christmas not only shed 'Christian' significance,
but even shed some of its older pagan significance ?

The Nativity is commercialized.
There is no need and was no need for people to choose between Jesus and Santa - they had both and will continue to have both for the foreseeable future.
As far as Christianity is concerned, there's no distinction between "pagan" and "Christian" terms - the difference is completely artificial.
Bah Humbug

Who fathered Christmas ?
Is Santa the god of Christmas?
Who gave life, so to speak, to the Christmas story which is out of sync with Scripture ?
Three more days till Christmas

If you are asking why I said its a true story, its because the front man for the Kinks really did work as a Santa Claus, called Father Christmas in England, and he really was mugged by a bunch of kids.
That still does not make the so-called Christmas story a true account about Jesus birth.
Was Santa present at Jesus birth ?
Two more days till Christmas

The Nativity is most likely myth and legend taken from various pagan traditions to give Christ a back story. So whats your point?
This is not a debate thread. Do you have any videos to post?
Woo hoo!
The days are getting longer now!
(This is not up for debate. You southern hemisphere types don't count.)
