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.

See my above post.

1. The world doesn't revolve around English. English anagrams mean nothing, since English hasn't been around that long. Especially when applied to persons/places/things in the ancient world. As a matter of fact, you're thinking of LATIN. The devil hates it. The Church spoke it and standardized on it for centuries. If there were a "one universal language" that had all kinds of cosmic or religious significance, it would be Latin. Exorcisms have the most effect in Latin. In religious matters, English is in about the same class as Swahili. I have proof of that assertion. English entered the Sanctuary at the same time as every other vulgar tongue: after Vatican II. It doesn't have the religious, venerable background of Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, Latin, Old Slavonic, or any other language used in the Liturgy of the True Religion worldwide from Abraham to the present day. And no, the Church of England doesn't count! They are schismatic heretics.

2. The priest wears red too -- on Pentecost and on ALL feasts involving an Apostle or just a Martyr. And Cardinals in the Catholic Church wear red. So what of it?

3. Google "Chi Rho" and learn something.

4. You are correct that Christmas has been secularized, and that the Coca-Cola "Santa Claus" we know today, seen in shopping malls from sea to shining sea, is an abomination. And that they want to replace Christ with other focuses/activities.


I don't mean to be harsh, but ignorance -- especially Protestant propaganda -- really annoys me. Pointing to a bunch of protestant heretics and seconding all their drivel, just because we both agree that "the modern, Coca-Cola Santa Claus is bad" is just dumb. We don't need the protestants, their heresy, and certainly not their ignorance.

We Catholics have plenty of facts and basis from which to attack the modern Santa Claus without resorting to the protestants, or any other group on the road to hell.

No such thing as an Insanity Clause. If thou knowest thy Groucho and Chico.

It is only Nov 29 and I am already tired of the nonsense. I have to put with it because of older sister and her N Oisms. 

I am glad though to be home bound. I HATE being in any store at this time of year. 

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 red suit comes from the red robe worn by Bishops.  The idea of anonymous gift giving is explained in Nadir's post, point #6.  St Nicholas performed many, many miracles during his life (he even brought back 3 boys from the dead, who were murdered), many of which were related to children.  Of course our modern age has corrupted his memory but the origins of him associated with Christmas are very Catholic and very real.
