blah blah blah pagan ritual blah blah blah...if you don't like it don't use it, I personally like the Christmas tree to me it represents eternal life (because they are evergreen get it) but if you want to take the holier then though route be my guest. And Santa Claus, since when is having a figure that encourages good behavior and gift giving and jolliness a bad thing, I think our society needs more figureheads like Santa.

Possibly -- but the main thing is that Santa diverts attention from the true meaning of Christmas. That's what I dislike.
