Re: Santa

[(Anonymous)]

Santa was real, kind of. He would have hated 'Santa', though. He slapped a guy for arguing with him over whether Jesus was divine or not, that's how religious he was!

I'm an Atheist, but I liked the story of how he saved a woman from being sold into prostitution by slipping a bag of money for a dowry through her open window one night. (It apparently fell into her stocking, and well, you know the rest)

Fun stuff. One of his names, Kris Kringle, is a corruption of "Chris Kindle" which is Christ. The nuns used to give gifts out on Saint Nick's birthday, which was in early December. They changed it to Christ's 'birthday', because they didn't really like that. The idea of a little winged Christ baby bringing presents to children is kind of creepy, though.

...and here's me, thinking Santa was created by Norman Rockwell....

Re: Santa

As someone living in a place that still celebrates 6th of December as the day of St. Nicholas I feel the need to object to you saying that St. Nicholas and Santa are the same person. Santa may have been based on St. Nicholas once upon a time, but these days they are two completely different people.

(Also, I'm pretty sure that St. Nicholas is not and never has been called Christkindl. They are two entirely different beings. In fact, wasn't the Christkindl created by the Protestants as a counter-figure to St. Nicholas?)

Re: Santa

I never said he was Chris Kindle. I said Kris Kringle came from a corruption of that name. Chris Kindle was a baby Jesus with wings that would bring presents on Dec. 25th.

Also, the majority of who Santa is comes from the poem "Twas the Night Before Christmas' which was written by a preacher, who was inspired by the hearing stories about St. Nicholas.
