DmanA, those who are broke this Christman can tell their kids obama killed Santa Clause with a drone.
As for Megyn, does she really think a bunch of kids who believe in Santa are watching her show? And that’s the first time I’ve ever heard that Santa is caucasion.

St Nick was Greek from about the 300's AD, I believe, and Jesus was Jewish from the first century. Since what follows is 5th-6th century Byzantine, nothing can be argued definitively.
5th-6th century Byzantine art had colors. It might well have been ethno-centric, so any depictions of Christ might be better understood as how these Greeks saw themselves. It is lighter skinned moreso than darker skinned, although Peter below appears "olive?"

The depiction of Peter also suggests Byzantine understandings of color:

Finally, the Mother of Jesus also was viewed in the following manner by the Byzantines:
