They should move it to July, the shops are always busy in December.
God help us,
Come yourself,
Don't send Jesus,
This is no place for children.

haha, bingo, it was coca cola, thats why all these red suits and red hats are all a commercial thing and not in the spirit of xmas itself.

Yeah he used to be evil and feared too before coke changed that Don't say Santa was evil, you'll end up on his naughty list! Anyway, the links with paganism are most likely to be because of similarities between Santa and the Norse God 'Odin' who had a flying horse, a bit like Santa with his flying reindeer. The idea that Santa was originally green is also questionable:- http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2007/dec/10/coke-denies-claims-it-bottled-familiar-santa/ I really hope saying this helps keep me in his good books...

Dont we all, it just shows how a clever piece of marketing can become so global and can last for so long.
