There's always someone who wants to come along and take all the joy out of things.

Some of us would say that real joy doesn't derive from "things" but rather from God. They attack Halloween and Christmas because they don't like it when people enjoy life.

I don't think it's an attack. It's factual information about Christmas. Do with it what you will.

This is not anything new, ya know. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out that if the world was pagan when Christianity emerged that the two must have intertwined so that civil and social moores didn't erupt with indignation over the loss of one and the ascendency of the other.

Of course Santa is not in the bible. And who knows if the Wise Men gave gifts, the Bible says they did. St. Nicholas evolved into Santa, but so what? A little fantasy is good for the soul. Childhood should not be all truth and grim.
Kids find out the tuth and life goes on, but they always look back at the wonder of Santa and Christmas in their childhoods.

Such nonsense. The hope is that they can make GOD go away, and with him all morality. Then they have an open playing field and they, the Powerful, will become the gods.

There is a quote I read once that said "One day all the gods died laughing when one old grim beard of a God said "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." It doesn't matter how they died, But they did die and Christianity will not.
