I think it is kind of a 'if you can't beat them, join them' thing. I guess maybe they didn't want me to feel left out? 
And really- with Santa, where is the religious connection, in his current incarnation today....I don't see one at all. He is just a jolly guy from the North Pole giving presents to the kids all over the world. |
Yes - but isn't he giving presents in celebration of Christ's birth? Or is it just coincedence that he makes his rounds on Christmas Eve?
