What Does Santa Claus Have To Do With Christianity?

[daws101]

Oh look, more lies.

Yes, I always jump on people about spelling and grammar.

I think you must just be hyper sensitive, honey. I'm sure you get a lot of heckling about it. It hurts when it's true.

as a matter of fact you do....jump in and spew nonsense as evidenced by your preceding posts..

As detailed here, Santa originated from the Dutch Saint Nicholas. That is the simple and factual answer. Just like anything else that becomes legend, the facts get lost and pop culture takes over. Most people that care to think and reason can understand that the U.S. commercialized Santa Claus and made him into a fictional, gift giving, omnipresent jolly old elf. Christians don't conflate Santa and the birth of Christ - non Christians can't seem understand that.

So why are self-proclaimed Christians like Bill O'Reilly conflating Santa Claus with Christianity?

I'm not sure I ever heard Megyn Kelly say or suggest she's a Christian, but I'm going to go a limb and assume she's in with Bill O'Reilly. At least for the sake of this argument.

Why are these folks, conflating Santa with Christianity?

Either they aren't Christians, like you suggested, or they are severely wrong.

I wonder which one.

Thank you. I thought it was just me.

Funny how no other self-proclaiming Christian on USMB ever called him out on that.

Things that make me go Hmmmmm....!

mythology is correct...not reality!

 

[koshergrl]

Duhs! Did you have an enjoyable Winter Solstice?

Awesome! The important thing is to stay away from non-reality!

"
The Feast of Juul was a pre-Christian festival observed in Scandinavia at the time of the December solstice. Fires were lit to symbolize the heat, light and life-giving properties of the returning sun. A Yule or Juul log was brought in and burned on the hearth in honor of the Scandinavian god Thor."
