Poor santa claus
Poor Santa Claus. Sometimes it has a bad reputation. People say it doesn’t represent Christmas well. People say that he is not a good example for Christians who celebrate December 25th. And people say, jade! That doesn’t even exist. Also, there are some people who are trying to confuse who Santa is. Is it really Saint Nicholas? Or is he an impostor, a great elf from the North Pole who wants to take credit for all that Saint Nick has done and represents?
Scary stuff, right? Well, if you are too upset by these anti-Santa ideas, maybe you should stop reading this article now. It only gets worse the further you delve into these anti-Santa theories.
Are you still with us? Good, because to preserve our image of Santa Claus, our jolly old man, we need to know why people chase him. Then, and only then, can we prevent them from destroying the good name of the man in the red suit.
First of all, these anti-Santa people admit that Santa has great qualities. He is always cheerful and happy. He always has fun games and gifts to give, and he’s always generous (unless you’re naughty, of course). But this is where these anti-Santa folks stop with the compliments. You see, they say that Santa Claus, in all his goodness, is only for children and not for adults.
Worse still, they say that Santa Claus is only around these days to make money for the big purchasing unions of the East. You are only here to make other people money. All that Santa Claus giving gifts and spreading good cheer is made up, they say. The true purpose of the man with the white beard and the red cap is to make us consume, spend money, give gifts like Santa does.
This is a horrible thing against Santa, right? Well, believe it or not, it gets worse. These anti-Santa people keep saying that Santa cannot be believed because he flies around the world in a sleigh. Obviously, the anti-Santa people have no faith in Rudolph. And speaking of faith, anti-Santa people also say that Santa takes away the true purpose of Christmas, which is to celebrate Baby Jesus.
You see, these anti-Santa people say that the real Saint Nicholas is better than Santa. He was a real person, they say, who believed and practiced goodwill towards all men, women and children. He was kind and generous, and he was a devout believer in the Child Jesus. And Santa isn’t real, they say?
Did i get enough? I also. This is how you can tell that these anti-Santa people are sorely mistaken. What these anti-Santa people don’t understand is that Santa and Saint Nicholas are the same. So you can’t say that Saint Nick is better than Santa, or that Santa is copying Saint Nick’s style. Saint Nicholas is Saint! Together, as one, they represent all the good things about Christmas and all that we should practice every day, not just December 25.
So please, Santa’s anti-bullies, please leave the big man alone. It has never done anything but bring holiday cheer, love for humanity, and tons of fun.
