They seem silly to you, of course, simply because they are not yours. But ask the Greeks, who serve red-colored eggs at Easter. They also invented Santa Claus.

Actually you are incorrect. The drewids invented Santa Clause as well as the Christmas tree and nearly every other symbol of these holidays which have nothing to do with the true meaning of any of them. They are practiced in the church because many Drewid priests converted to "Catholic" and wouldn't give up their old practices!

The "drewids"? You mean to tell me that the fans of the Drew Carey Show did all this? Wow!

Thank you, drive threw, er thru.

Actually you are wrong, because St. Nicholas was a Greek bishop,whose feast Day is December 6. He was famous for gift-gicing a long time before the Christianty reached the forests of western Europe. He didn't become Santa Claus until after the Dutch St. Nick was commercialized in the 19th Century. In Germany, for instances, gifts(or coals and switches) are given on St. Nicholas Eve to good(bad) little boys and girls. The egg, of course, symbolizes new life, and at Easter the life of the resurrection.
