How American Jєωs Secularized Christmas
through Music
Movie review of Dreaming of a Jєωιѕн Christmas (2017)
Salwa Bachar
I was recently made aware of a musical docuмentary called Dreaming of a Jєωιѕн Christmas (available to watch here), directed and narrated by Canadian Jєωιѕн filmmaker Larry Weinstein. The film features a panel of Jєωιѕн “experts” including an ethnomusicologist, a music educator, a composer, a journalist, a known lawyer, several comedians, a museum director, a rabbi and even a Catholic priest. With this panel, the viewer enters the world of popular Christmas music, learning how the vast majority of American Christmas songs were created by Jєωιѕн songwriters with the confessed purpose of de-Christianizing Christmas.

The first big step to take Christ out of Christmas began with Santa Claus. Santa is Satan spelled inside-out and Santa wears the color that is traditionally associated with Satan (red). 

The next big step was to write Christmas as XMas. X takes the Christ out of Christmas as well and to those who try to explain it away by saying that X is just an abbreviation, it isn't. If it was meant to be an abbreviation, it would be a T or a t (to represent the Cross) instead of an X (which is just a way to disassociate Christ with Christmas. 

That's why I hate Santa Claus and the entire secularization of Christmas. It was done to stress consumerism instead of celebrating the birth of Christ.

I thought Santa was derived from Saint Nicholas, "Santa" being the Spanish form of "Saint"?
The "Santa means Satan!" line sounds like Protestant drivel

The real Saint Nicholas did not go from house-to-house, down through chimneys dressed in a red suit to leave toys for all the good girls and good boys. The memory of the real Saint Nicholas has been warped and twisted to remove any semblance of Christianity away from Christmas and also, of course, for financial profit. 

This is because there's much less money to be made by trying to get the masses of people to focus on the true meaning of Christmas (the birth of Christ). If most people did that, then they would be much more content with much less and thus much happier than they are when they buy into the whole gift-giving nonsense. But that would mean much less profit for those who sell the false Saint Nicholas so the corporations/businesses stress gift-giving for that obvious reason.  I don't fall for it.

When speaking the Spanish language (or Italian or Latin languages), the word "Santa" is fine because it does, in fact, mean "Saint." And there are other words in those languages for satan/the Devil. I know that in the Spanish language they use the word "diabolo" for the devil/satan. 

 However, when speaking English, the term "Santa" does not in any way, shape or form (especially its use in today's secular culture) reflect any of the reverence it does in the aforementioned languages. When praying the rosary in Latin, we say "Santa Maria" because, in Latin, it means something completely different (it's something wonderful).

When it's used in English, it means anything but "saint." Can anyone honestly look at a picture of a typical Santa Claus and associate the word "Santa" with "saint" in the English language? I tried for years but know I cannot.
