Yeaaaahh, given the Catholic Church's propensity of suddenly producing a saint that bears a remarkable similarity to pagen gods, I'm gonna just have to agree to not buy into that.

Your church history sucks.

St Nicholas emerged from the Byzantyne Tradition.
Άγιος Νικόλαος is Patron Saint in the Greek Orthodox Church - as is Святитель николай in the Russian Orthodoxy.
The Santa Claus gift-giving feast on Dec-6th was adopted by the Dutch

The Netherlands were undergoing a Protestant Reformation in the 16th and 17th century - Netherlands' Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam being on a par with Calvin and Luther at that time.

Praise to the Lord the Almighty.

Saint Nicholas was born about 275 AD in Myra; he eventually became Bishop the Christian Church in the Asia Minor city of Myra (now Demre, Turkey) in the fourth century AD.

He is beloved throughout the Christian East for his kindness and help, both during his life and afterward. He is called "Wonderworker" (or "Miraculous" or "Miracle-Worker", different translations of the Greek "θαυματουργός") for the numerous miracles which he performed and which he still performs, by God's grace.

In the Protestant West, which suppressed the invocation of saints, Saint Nicholas became popularly known as Santa Claus.

Honor and Glory to God in the Highest.

The origins of the myth "Santa Claus bringing gifts in secret":

The most famous story about St. Nicholas concerns a man who, because of extreme poverty, had agreed to sell his three daughters into slavery. St. Nicholas heard about it and came in the night, leaving behind him a bag with enough gold in it to save one of the children. Three times he came secretly so that the man would not know from where the money came. On the third night, the man saw him and asked for the Saint's forgiveness because he had nearly sold his children as slaves. Because of this and similar acts, St. Nicholas became the patron saint of children and the type of the cheerful giver of good gifts.

Thanks be to God.

There are shitloads of people that think the democrats will give them free college, free medical, get rid of their student loans, and solve the immigration crisis just by voting for anyone with a d by their name.

I'd trust the Santa down at the VFW before I'd trust a democrat

She's a personal friend of the Easter Bunny

And men who think they are woman.

If they think it, then they are not mentally sound
