That "Christian fairy-tale" you are whining about is responsible for more joy, laughter, wonder, and good will in this world than anything else you can name.
You don't have to believe in God or Jesus Christ to appreciate the magic of Santa Claus, and what it means to millions of people with purer hearts than you or I possess. So lighten up.
And Merry Christmas.
The last thing I'd hear in this hypocritical country is some protestant pastor telling his or her congregation to treat everyone equally, regardless of religion, skin color, sexuality. Watch Fox News, they make sure every conservative jesus lover's hatred is refreshed before the beginning of this CHRISTIAN holiday. Santa Claus is Saint Nicholas of Myra. No buts. I guess you can thank Clement Clarke Moore and Thomas Hast for "de-religionizing" the look of the character, but there is no way you can take this holiday and shove it into the faces of everyone, as you would just be another Christian trying to mix in your traditions with other peoples' cultures. Happy Holidays.
