Okay, maybe the Right took the war on Christmas a bit far over the past ten years. The beef over wishing people Happy Holidays over Merry Christmas to be more inclusive was a political correctness exercise that was total garbage. It is Christmas season. Yet, as the Left has moved into crazy town, the political correctness exercises have become more intrusive and more ridiculous. The latest front in the war on Christmas centers right on jolly ole’ Saint Nick. Almost 30 percent of people think he should be either female or gender neutral. Logo design company Graphic Springs surveyed folks in the U.S. and U.K for ideas on how to rebrand Santa (via CBS Pittsburgh):
The survey polled approximately 400 people from the United States and United Kingdom. Then, 4,000 people voted on the most popular version of the Santa they designed from the survey.
“Modern Santa” has tattoos, a stylishly-trimmed beard, skinny jeans, sneakers, and a hoverboard. He’s tech-savvy and looks like he could easily feature in GQ magazine.
A new survey found that over 27 percent of people asked would rebrand Santa Claus as a woman or gender-neutral.
[…]
Nearly 11 percent of people said Santa should be female. Over 17 percent said he should be gender neutral.
Santa is a dude. He’s a man. That’s not changing, so we can cut this crap right now. Second, I wish I could say that groups of people were just messing around, saying they want a female or gender neutral Santa to troll and screw around with the survey. I can’t; the Left has become unhinged—and it wouldn’t shock me if the social justice warriors of the world wanted this sort of rebrand.
Then again, things could be worse:
Organizers of a Christmas event have apologized to outraged parents after a fire alarm reportedly prompted Santa Claus to burst out of his grotto, rip off his beard and scream at children to "get the f**k out." https://t.co/E2MyWYJyOr— CNN (@CNN) December 13, 2018
Not entirely correct. Nicholas of Myra was a real person.
Born: March 15, 270 AD, Patara, Lycia
Died: December 6, 343 AD, Myra
The modern stories made up about him, however, are myths. There's a difference.
Some of the modern myths are based on truth, however. At the time in 4th Century Myra, fathers who couldn't afford to pay a dowry for their daughters would sell them off to slavery. Nicholas would drop off a bag of gold so they wouldn't have to do that.
Gender Neutral Santa Clause comes down my chimney and he’s going to get lit up!
I remember in the 70s an issue of National Lampoon did an illustrated cartoon called "Jessica Christ".
30 Percent Think the Easter bunny should be female or gender neutral too and these people vote note new congress.
National Lampoon was engaged in blasphemous humor. I don’t excuse them, but at least they didn’t intend to be taken seriously.
This other bunch was dead serious.
Agreed...it’s time to pull the plug or push the button...

No matter what you do!
Lesbian Santa is coming to town.
You better not slut shame, you better not mansplain,
You better not catcall, I’m telling you plain!
Lesbian Santa is coming to town!
“30 Percent Think the Easter bunny should be female”
Umm, where else are the eggs supposed to come from?
The new printers will make them
Lol
Point well taken
Internet is being stupid again
These same people said they were eating or smoking tide pods
These same people claim not to knw who Paul McCartney was
These same people ‘believe’ Hillary never ever has told a lie
This all started when Michelle Obama said during the 2012 campaign that Barack had a lot of work to do to change our history and tradition. he started that and the Democrats have taken that up as one of their unspoken objectives.
For the kids who want to get probed for Christmas...
People lie to polls on purpose.
Naw, there are freepers who insist that there is no ‘war on Christmas/Thanksgiving/Columbus Day” etc and that none of it matters anyway because they are all based on lies.
