Well, that was the invention of society, to create commerce and give people an excuse to be nice to each other. A PAGAN holiday?
Could be.......(Church lady)...
But reality was to create a character so ridiculous people would have no choice but to smile.
The Jewish faith does not believe in such stupidity...imagine way back when a big fat man comes to give you gifts? I bet there were far fewer fat jolly men back then...now imagine his garb? They would have nailed his double bubble ass to the cross!
If it happened in colonial times...hmmm.... let's say in Salem, Massachusetts. He would come prancing into town and they would instantly catch his ass and conclude he was some kind of WITCH!!
Burn him, BURN him!!!!!
The idea of a big fat happy man that has yet to suffer a MASSIVE heart attack squeezing himself down a chimney to land in your house and give you presents is only the imagination of a retarded greedy society. Now - a - days he would be detected by your home security system and arrested..... serving 5-8 for B and E and perversion. Or maybe just plain shot?
I certainly don't think he would make it some of the tougher neighborhoods..... His reindeer? They would have been long gone...a hunters trophy....
Ian Gizanizsoznoseski...he would have taken at least all of the spikes and four pointers out of season while they were sleeping and may have even tried killing a few at birth.
A big fat man that gives us greedy Americans presents for being good?
We think just a bit too highly of ourselves...
When I come to power we are gonna play.... You have done many bad things and now its time to PLAY and PAY!
SATAN is greedy for the souls of the weak and TERRIBLE!
