Tis the season

Santa Claus was originally considered a benevolent saint. The spirit of Christmas is the spirit of giving, which directly honors "For God so loved he GAVE...." But you wouldn't know anything about that because you are unacquainted with that aspect of God. Your lack of generosity of spirit is downright creepy.

Sorry, Javertical. Comfort yourself with your fantasy that you are more holy than most, because it's nothing but a fantasy. And you are most definitely a nut, which I suppose is fitting at Christmas time. Happy Holidays!

CH Spurgeon (if you know who that is) would disagree with you. Wintertime where? Wintertime in medieval pagan Europe not Jerusalem. Christmas is about giving you say, I thought it was about the birth of Christ? I'm sure it is about many things. Being about the birth of Christ is not one of them.
