The focus is JESUS and a stealthy culture warrior knows you cant detract something huge like that from the scene and expect the nice, semi-sleeping Christian audience to remain asleep:
You have to swap in a SUBSTITITE - Santa, throw in some snowmen.
Same with the innocent-sounding “Happy Turkey Day....!”
It is a stealthy way to delete our religious heritage.
Same with “Xmas”.
In some environs, it isnt Christmas until Soul Santa has been dropped by chopper into the Martin Luther King Blvd barrio.
