Me and my family lived in Sydney for about six months in 1984. Around Christmas time, there was a group of young men who called themselves “Santabusters”. They would go into shopping malls in the area and go up to kids waiting to see Father Christmas (Aussie/Brit term for Santa Claus) and tell them that there is no such thing as Father Christmas/Santa Claus. You can imagine a number of kids were upset to the point of tears and many parents were made very angry at the behaviour of these young men spoiling things for the kids.
In an interview, the leader of “Santabusters” simply said he thought that Father Christmas/Santa Claus had nothing to do with Australia and was basically an old holdover from England that should be done away with entirely. Reading about how upset those kids were over these young men’s antics and also that guy’s comments, I often think of how all of that was an early introduction for me about how very insensitive the left really genuinely are (start of the long road from hating Ronald Reagan big time back then to realizing years later what a young idiot I was for doing so).
Sad day for the Aussies.
Love Christmas? Stay away from that store. I would.

Scroo the trees and Santa Claus. We put a nativity scene on a table and put presents around that.
If they just call it a “tree” or a “holiday tree,” it is clearly a Ramadan Tree.
It is like when they say, “happy holiday.” I just reply that I am not a Muslim.
