UH.... I think you may be taking this a bit too seriously...

and as far as st. nick the history has nothing to do with his current incarnation... christmas and st nick were brought up from the dead by FDR in order to boost the economy... that's it. he changed lots of regular holidays and added christmas to give retail stores a chance at remaining in business through cold winters where normally people would not be shopping.

Ya sure the fact that he was generous and was known for his compassion for kids helped in him being the main figure of christmas.

but if you ask me no saint would never want to replace jesus as the main charector in the celebration of his JESUS' B-day.

the whole thing (christmas) is wrong and in my opinion a sacralige.

you lie to your children make them believe something that would and will never happen you create a world of magic that doesn't exist and then eventually that magic world is shattered and the child is left feeling mis-lead and cheated. I have a kid (he's almost 2) and I don't think I'm gunna tell him about santa.

the worst part about the whole thing is that YOU'RE made to feel evil if you don't participate... or if you don't lie to your kid. IT's a bunch of shit.
