Enjoyed this very much.

Concerning the Christmas Wars many Protestant groups (that are generally unknown to the public at large) avoid Christmas itself because of its association with "Santa Claus".

In my research into how the Sa'ami came to America, and how their Little Red Man concept seems to have become very much a part of the Santa Claus image, I finally realized that the Anti-Christmas fundamentalist Chrisitan groups were mostly Scandinavian in origin, and it really was Little Red Man, Herb Woman and Reindeer Man they were rejecting ~ in part because it was a recent part of their people's own fairly recent pagan past, but also because of the old religion's association with the use of amanita muscaria, a red hallucinogenic mushroom with white spots, much beloved of Sa'ami shamen as well as reindeer.

The secularists, however, seem to be the sort of folk who highly prise unregulated recreational use of hallucinogenic drugs, so their war on Christmas seems a tad mysterious, and possibly simply misinformed!

Actually, there are many Fundamentalist chr*stian groups that won't have anything to do with chr*stmas because it is unauthorized by scripture, and even those that do celebrate do not do so with a special religious ritual of any kind but as a sort of home-based folk-festival. Ironically, just as the "gay rights" movement is eradicating antinomianism from Fundamentalist chr*stianity and the "naked public square" people are purging it of its anti-Constantinian bias, so the "war on chr*stmas" is giving that festival a religious universality it has lacked until recently.

But not to worry. As soon as 12/25 passes the reverent chr*stians go right back to dismissing the "old testament" as chr*stological allegory taken from pagan mythology (this doesn't apply to American-style "Bible chr*stians," thank G-d).
