Santa Claus

what, the story of a David Koresh type getting crucified by his Government ? 99.99% of Cult leaders get forgotten over the sands of time. The occasional one gets beatified or more.

what kind of a normal fella is going to take a job as a Santa ? not exactly the chief exec of Google. Mostly its nutjobs, druggies and the longterm unemployed.
i recall, as a schoolboy, we had pegged the local Santa as being aggressive & gobby. You shout 'hiya Santa' from twenty yards away. The answer was like an aggressive Father Jack. "yis come here and say that and yis will be minus one or two balls".
Needless to say, his infamy and notoriety led to dozens of schoolboys descending upon the grotto to be insulted and threatened. Again, hilarious.

the management thinking "ah jaysus, is Frank at it again ?"

Are you referring to the pagan festival, Roman Saturnalia, Saint Nicholas or the Christian fairy story?

I must admit the commercialisation aspect is a constant so much that the religious aspect has almost completely gone.

I wouldn't be surprised if next year you had a nativity play where it was the little baby Santa in the crib, surrounded by reindeer instead of donkeys and three fat radical feminists instead of kings.....all trying to convince little baby Santa that he's really a girl.

the Druids had a winter Solstice festival long before the Christians robbed the idea. And its prevalent across much of globe, long before christianity. Santa was most likely connected to krampus the Germanic deity.

but you are correct. The lefties seem hell bent on putting their stamp onto everything.

I just watched 'Wonka' with my grandson and that was all the cultural hijacking I need for one week.
It should be renamed 'Woker'.
Christmas has been about commercialism since Victorian times. If people want to celebrate then they need food, drink, appropriate clothing and gifts to do it with.
Religion hijacked the pagan festival in the first place, so I'm not going to complain about the lack of religion, but the only way to stop the progressives wrecking everything is to stand against them in numbers. Just say no.
Christmas is a Christian celebration and if, as cultural Christians, we want to keep it that way, then we have to reject further distortions encouraged by activists, politicians and commerce in practical ways.
