Re: Tis the season
The story of Jesus birth is magical, great story, and I am very happy that many churches use Christmas as an excuse to tell this story, have children do a children's play, etc. Some of the best hymns we have are concerning Jesus birth.
The resurrection is magical.
Baptism -- Noah's ark, the Red Sea, etc. are magical.
Israel leaving Egypt is magical.
Santa Claus is a very poor and ugly sham for a magical story. Even the author of the Harry Potter series who tried to refer to many if not all of man's mythology wouldn't stoop so low as to refer to Santa.
