That's twice you've posted that Dana Carveyesque Santa Claus connection to Satan. Did you really miss the school day as a child when it was taught that Santa Claus is a contraction of St. Nicholas?
Saturnalia festival--feasting-the exchanging of gifts. This was turned into the Christmas celebration. There is no doubt--satan claus is stealing 98% of Christmas--Jesus 2%
Festivities going on around the time of winter solstice predates Christianity a long time. Folks can look that up for themselves, as it's historical fact. Depending on the culture, it was called Saturnalia, Yule, etc. If the date of Jesus' birth was an important one for us to know and celebrate it'd be in the Bible (it was not Jewish custom in those days to celebrate b-days). Let each man do his own research and be convinced in his own mind as to the truth. I'm Christian and don't take part in the "holiday". I do my own thing and refuse to get involved in that materialistic malarkey that is typical of 25 Dec. Knowing the truth sets one free from all that.

Let's see three separate occasions...
Pharoah (not Egyptian but) celebrated his birthday, and it happened to be the day that he had his royal baker beheaded...
Job's sons celebrated their birthdays...
Herod celebrated his birthday, the day which he had John the Baptist beheaded...
Where in the world did you get the idea that Jews did not celebrate birthdays back then???...
~follow Jesus and not something else. Something else is a different path created by man influenced by the "father of all lies" -lucifer-the false light-the coming shadow king, that "many" will follow.
santa claus ~ satans claws

Yea...And I think you are the same person that posted that the Jews are waiting for the Anti-Christ to appear...

Please post as to where did you get the idea Job's sons celebrated birthdays ?
Sure pagans celebrated and with both Pharaoh and Herod there was death as the fun festivity.
In the book ' The Lore of Birthdays ' shows the pagan connection and the Jews did Not celebrate them.
The only command date Jesus gave us is the anniversary date of Nisan 14 in remembrance of his death Not birth.
- Luke 22:19-20
Santa = satan---- he steals 98% of the holiday. Jesus gets 2%.
Please correct if in error, but you give absolutely nothing to either of them - during this time?
Therefore, predicated on your calendar - you have taken or stolen away 100% of Christmas.
So, does that make you, Ha Satan or an Ebenezer Scrooge?
REMEMBER: It's the gift of giving that matters the most.
