Yeah, those catalogues and stuff selling credit to people with no money, and even less sense.

One of my favorite things around Christmas is watching the holiday animation shows. Oh I love most of them that were from when I was a child.... some of them they rarely play anymore... and its a shame... when I was younger, my mother ordered books thru Parent's Magazine and one of the books was

Did you know that several of the most popular Christmas songs, including "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer", "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" and "A Holly Jolly Christmas" were written by a Jewish man named Johnny Marks whose birthday was today?

Isn't Christmas about a Jewish man?

I don't know but I doubt it. In fact, he may even be anti-Semetic as he never seems to go to Jewish children's homes.

I would say Santa Claus is Christian. His name derives from the Dutch "Sinterklaas" which is dialectal pronunciation of "Saint Nicholas".

[MovieGal]

Since we are talking about good ol' Saint Nicholas and him being of Dutch origin... how about a Christmas horror film from The Netherlands (a dutch film)

Dick Maas made Santa as evil as he did an elevator in The Lift. :cool:

[VFN]

Santa Claus also has Norse (http://paganwiccan.about.com/od/yulethelongestnight/p/Santa_Claus.htm)origins.

Yes but Norse viewed him as "Odin".. every culture has someone similar but the word "Santa Claus" came from the Dutch.
