i actually only have a vague notion of the origins of christmas and our family does not really celebrate it as a religious holiday, but rather a family holiday. as for the contents of the article, i make no affiliation between santa and satan, confifers and lucifer, nor do i know anyone personally that has interpreted scripture or christmas in this manner. the closest think would be my father in law who doesn't believe in celebrating christmas because he doesn't see it as scripturally accurate or condoned. ![]() |

Being raised Roman Catholic, I often questioned some of this, as I believe the observance of the "Immaculate Conception" occurs sometime this week, at the moment, my memory fails me as to whether the date is Dec. 8th or Dec. 15th. Many argue this would make it impossible for Jesus to have been born on Dec. 25. HOWEVER, what few realize is that the Immaculate Conception is in reference to MARY's conception, and not that of Jesus'. In the Catholic faith, we learn that she was born without 'original sin', unlike the rest of us, making her not only a virgin, but capable of bearing the Christ-child...planned from the time of her birth by God. As for the feast of St. Nicholas, that takes place on Dec. 6, and the only real custom that was officially adopted from that was that of leaving out stockings, as St. Nicholas lived ( I believe in Holland) and children would leave their shoes outside their bedroom doors at night before going to sleep, and in the morning, they would be filled with treats or small toys. I realize that this is just an excerpt, and not the person who posted this general opinion, but I thought I would clarify a few things with what I was taught. As far as gift giving, that came along when the Magi brought the baby Jesus gifts to honor him. Then there is the story of the Jesse tree...as for the Christmas tree, I'm not sure where that falls into place, but I'm sure there's a story for that, too. As for the anagrams, I'm sure you could find those anywhere. But St. Nicholas DID exist...Santa Claus is merely our way of carrying on the tradition. --Christine ![]() |

Many traditions embraced by "Christmas" are originally celebrated under Yule. Most notably, the wreath, symbolizing death and rebirth, and the tree itself, is a Yule tradition. Burning the Yule log, mistletoe..all of it's pagan. However, I am like you Doheney, I celebrate it as a "family holiday", well okay..it's more of an obligation to me, but still. I don't sit around worrying if my mother is violating her fundamental stance of religious non-involvement by putting up her tree. I think she likes decorating the tree and making me a new wreath every year. I have some vague memory of reading that the incorporation of Yule was to help pagan converts adjust to christianity. I don't make any association between Satan and Santa..although, I have been told that when I was younger I questioned Santa's credibility by politely inquiring whether or not he was a pervert, considering my mom told me to never sit on a stranger's lap. Other than that...I'd say someone who sits around and thinks of this stuff needs to lighten up on the bottle and hit the meds harder. How can you condem a holiday, no matter what it's origin, that is all about family and love and fuzzies and all the *ahem* stuff I am not into. *Cough cough* I feel my credibility slipping away now......<RegretfulHalo> ![]() |

well, i do know a few that totally reject. my father in law to be precise. he attends the church of christ and within the church generally, anything not based upon scripture or not mentioned in scripture, is not to be done. hence the lack of musical instruments during the worship sevice. the belief within the system he subscribes to doesn't see mention of instruments during worship so singing is acapella only. there is no mention of the date of jesus's birth, so, no christmas. to him it would be wrong for him to do it. on the other hand, he is incredibly cheap and that also has alot to do with it. lmao! thanks for your imput rh! ![]() |

It is known that religous holidays often have their birth in pagan beliefs. That was one way the early church could bring people into the fold. As for the source of the article, I believe it is Seventh Day Adventist. Recently, there have been a rash of billboards everywhere I travel condemning the belief that Sunday is the Sabbath, and I believe the Adventists are behind that. There is no reference to exactly when Christ was born. Given all that, I feel one has to look at the thought and meaning that has been put with Christmas before being judgemental. As for Santa Claus, I have never thought of St. Nick as being evil, but as the persona of giving unto others. ![]() |

OK, Galations 1:6-9, 2:4 Has NOTHING about the Sun, or the Babylonian Mystery religion. Simon Pater supposedly repented. He DID ask Peter and John to pray for him. Matthew 6:5-6 does NOT say not to go to church, it says " Do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on street corners to be seen by men." Then it goes on to say to pray in private, and God will reward you. Verse ^; Literal translation...except that Revelations was written by the Apostle John, so when it says " But this thou hast (in thy favour), that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes which I (Christ) ALSO HATE" It is not Christ's words, but John's. And as far as Santa wearing red, which is also Satan's color: Santa in the red suit is mainly a product of Coca Cola advertising. Generally before that, "Santa or St. Nick wore whatever color whoever drew him chose. And the "three Kings" they were not kings, they were listed as magi, and also as shepards. AS far as giving gifts to children..maybe it is menat in the spirit that the magi, or shepards gave gifts to Jesus.Isiah 3:12? Finish it; "Youths oppress my people. Women rule over them. Which is in judgement on Jerusalem, and Judah. "Christmas, nor pagan rituals are mentioned. I havn't seen a picture of Nimrod, so I can't comment on that. And linking the word "Conifer" to Lucifer, is a stretch of ANYONE'S imagination. "Con" means against and "fer" can be taken from almost anything. I'e: "Heifer" so, "Conifer" in actuality, mean "against cows". ![]() |

It sounds to me that it was written by a Jehovas Witness. I had a friend who for 2 years decided they were Jehovas Witness becuase she didnt want to buy her kids presents (I kid you not) after the 2 years the celebrated Christmas again. While she was a Witness she had people comming over and I asked why they didnt celebrate and the answers I was given are many that were written here. It never got as far as the confifer thing though, geez gimme a break. In our house it is a family day, I let my kids know what others believe the day is about.

I think this is garbage. It mis-represents Paganism, it mis-represents ancient religions, and it seems designed to "control" people's behavior by scaring them with the whole Satan/Hell thing. The Yule season & Christmas are indeed of "Pagan" (non-Christian, non-Jewish, non-Muslim) origins. That does not make them "bad", nor does it imply that anything beyond this narrow view of the holiday is "Satanic". I don't think these wild religious claims hold any water with people who are intelligent enough to see beyond the hype. That is my opinion. ![]() |

No offence, but Christianity has so many sects and they all believe different things from their own translations of the scriptures. Who's right? None of them in my view! Christmas can be the most wonderful family celebration, but it can also be an absolute hell for a lot of people too. It can be very stressful. People getting into debt in order to buy what their kids want... it's all over by noon and they break some of the precious toys fighting over them. Suicide go up and many lonely people just want to hide away. To some it means nothing, to others it's the highlight of the year. We will all experience all kinds of christmases. There is no evidence in the Bible or otherwise that Christmas is a religious time, but there is evidence of pagan origins in Europe where most Americans came from. Then it was a simple kind of thanksgiving celebration. Now it's just a marketing exercise. ![]() |

From Authorid: 59876
The legend of Santa Claus can be traced back hundreds of years to a monk named St. Nicholas. It is believed that Nicholas was born sometime around 280 A.D. in Patara, near Myra in modern-day Turkey. Much admired for his piety and kindness, St. Nicholas became the subject of many legends. It is said that he gave away all of his inherited wealth and traveled the countryside helping the poor and sick. Over the course of many years, Nicholas's popularity spread and he became known as the protector of children and sailors. His feast day is celebrated on the anniversary of his death, December 6. This was traditionally considered a lucky day to make large purchases or to get married. By the Renaissance, St. Nicholas was the most popular saint in Europe. Even after the Protestant Reformation, when the veneration of saints began to be discouraged, St. Nicholas maintained a positive reputation, especially in Holland. ![]() |

St. Nicholas made his first inroads into American popular culture towards the end of the 18th century. In December 1773, and again in 1774, a New York newspaper reported that groups of Dutch families had gathered to honor the anniversary of his death. The name Santa Claus evolved from Nick's Dutch nickname, Sinter Klaas, a shortened form of Sint Nikolaas (Dutch for Saint Nicholas). 1804, John Pintard, a member of the New York Historical Society, distributed woodcuts of St. Nicholas at the society's annual meeting. The background of the engraving contains now-familiar Santa images including stockings filled with toys and fruit hung over a fireplace. In 1809, Washington Irving helped to popularize the Sinter Klaas stories when he referred to St. Nicholas as the patron saint of New York in his book, The History of New York. As his prominence grew, Sinter Klaas was described as everything from a "rascal" with a blue three-cornered hat, red waistcoat, and yellow stockings to a man wearing a broad-brimmed hat and a "huge pair of Flemish trunk hose." ![]() |

In 1822, Clement Clarke Moore, an Episcopal minister, wrote a long Christmas poem for his three daughters entitled, "An Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas." Moore's poem, which he was initially hesitant to publish due to the frivolous nature of its subject, is largely responsible for our modern image of Santa Claus as a "right jolly old elf" with a portly figure and the supernatural ability to ascend a chimney with a mere nod of his head! Although some of Moore's imagery was probably borrowed from other sources, his poem helped to popularize the now-familiar idea of a Santa Claus who flew from house to house on Christmas Eve—in "a miniature sleigh" led by eight flying reindeer, whom he also named—leaving presents for deserving children. "An Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas," created a new and immediately popular American icon. In 1881, political cartoonist Thomas Nast drew on Moore's poem to create the first likeness that matches our modern image of Santa Claus. His cartoon, which appeared in Harper's Weekly, depicted Santa as a rotund, cheerful man with a full, white beard, holding a sack laden with toys for lucky children. It is Nast who gave Santa his bright red suit trimmed with white fur, North Pole workshop, elves, and his wife, Mrs. Claus. ![]() |

Gift-giving, mainly centered around children, has been an important part of the Christmas celebration since the holiday's rejuvenation in the early 19th century. Stores began to advertise Christmas shopping in 1820, and by the 1840s, newspapers were creating separate sections for holiday advertisements, which often featured images of the newly-popular Santa Claus. In 1841, thousands of children visited a Philadelphia shop to see a life-size Santa Claus model. It was only a matter of time before stores began to attract children, and their parents, with the lure of a peek at a "live" Santa Claus. In the early 1890s, the Salvation Army needed money to pay for the free Christmas meals they provided to needy families. They began dressing up unemployed men in Santa Claus suits and sending them into the streets of New York to solicit donations. Those familiar Salvation Army Santas have been ringing bells on the street corners of American cities ever since. ![]() |

18th-century America's Santa Claus was not the only St. Nicholas-inspired gift-giver to make an appearance at Christmastime. Similar figures were popular all over the world. Christkind or Kris Kringle was believed to deliver presents to well-behaved Swiss and German children. Meaning "Christ child," Christkind is an angel-like figure often accompanied by St. Nicholas on his holiday missions. In Scandinavia, a jolly elf named Jultomten was thought to deliver gifts in a sleigh drawn by goats. English legend explains that Father Christmas visits each home on Christmas Eve to fill children's stockings with holiday treats. Pere Noel is responsible for filling the shoes of French children. In Russia, it is believed that an elderly woman named Babouschka purposely gave the wise men wrong directions to Bethlehem so that they couldn't find Jesus. Later, she felt remorseful, but could not find the men to undo the damage. To this day, on January 5, Babouschka visits Russian children leaving gifts at their bedsides in the hope that one of them is the baby Jesus and she will be forgiven. In Italy, a similar story exists about a woman called La Befana, a kindly witch who rides a broomstick down the chimneys of Italian homes to deliver toys into the stockings of lucky children. ![]() |

Rudolph, "the most famous reindeer of all," was born over a hundred years after his eight flying counterparts. The red-nosed wonder was the creation of Robert L. May, a copywriter at the Montgomery Ward department store. In 1939, May wrote a Christmas-themed story-poem to help bring holiday traffic into his store. Using a similar rhyme pattern to Moore's "'Twas the Night Before Christmas," May told the story of Rudolph, a young reindeer who was teased by the other deer because of his large, glowing, red nose. But, When Christmas Eve turned foggy and Santa worried that he wouldn't be able to deliver gifts that night, the former outcast saved Christmas by leading the sleigh by the light of his red nose. Rudolph's message—that given the opportunity, a liability can be turned into an asset—proved popular. Montgomery Ward sold almost two and a half million copies of the story in 1939. When it was reissued in 1946, the book sold over three and half million copies. Several years later, one of May's friends, Johnny Marks, wrote a short song based on Rudolph's story (1949). It was recorded by Gene Autry and sold over two million copies. Since then, the story has been translated into 25 languages and been made into a television movie, narrated by Burl Ives, which has charmed audiences every year since 1964. ![]() |

1 John 2:17 "Do not be loving the world ore the things in the world for the love of the Father is not in you." Would this be one of those things that make that point? As far as it goes and maybe I missed it but the facts are that parents lie to their children when they tell them Santa Claus brings them presents. Wonder what else parents are lieing to their children about? True JW do not celebrate the holidays (as the rest of the world does) God is exposing all things as the end draws near, There should be no doubt so when the time comes they cannot say "We didn't know" Just as God has exposed the pedofiles in the churches, the entertainment world, sports and political worlds. The scriptures say to quit touching these things if you do not want to suffer what is going to happen to them when the end comes. By the way this is an excellent post, one of the best that I have ever read. I would like to know where it came from if you don't mind. And no it was not written by a JW. ![]() |

On the TV a while ago it claimed Santa Claus originated from somewhere in europe who went around with a man named 'black jack' (or something like that). Santa Claus gave out presents to the good children, black jack whipped the bad children. Personally, i think the whole thing is read into far too much. Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Christ, timed to co-encide with a pagan festival since no-one knew the actual date. ![]() |

Gods of the New Age include Sanatan and Sanatsiyata, . . . New Agers say each name is 'concealed anagrammatically' 'and are aliases,' and are 'an anagram used for Occult purposes. Is Santa, the great usurper of Christ's attention at Christmas, an anagram? "Ole Nick" is listed among the fallen angels or devils in the Dictionary of Fallen Angels. Scholars concur that Christ was born in the fall on the 4th day of the feast of tabernacles. December 25 is actually "the feast in honor of the birth of the son of the Babylonian queen of heaven, later called Saturnaha by the heathen Romans." ![]() |
