Who is more important to Wal-Mart, Baby Jesus or Santa?

Seeing that Wal-mart is a business giant who loves the good old $, I think Wal-mart will think Santa to be more of a gold mine than the Holy Child.

Christmas is about the birth of CHRIST.  without Christ, there IS NO Christmas.  The holiday has gotten out of hand.  Christmas is a celebratory holiday that we celebrate BECAUSE Christ was born - it's as simple as that - no Christ, no Christmas - It is a religious holiday, not a federal, made-up holiday.

Yes. Santa is real, if you believe in him! I think the world would be a much better place if people quit trying to destroy other peoples' happy illusions.

I agree.  People stop believing in Santa Claus when they are kids, but keep on believing in god.\n\nGod is a lot like Santa Claus.  He takes all the credit for the good things people do (like parent who buy the child's presents) and never gets the blame for the bad things.

There is no evidence at all to suggest Jesus even existed, let alone was born on 25th December.  Well before Christianity polluted the shores of Britain, the date we now know as December 25th was the Pagan midwinter solstice festival.  The Christians stole this festival from the Pagans and built their 'Christ' myth around it.

I'm really not sure on that one!  I don't think he should be though!  If we can't celebrate the birth of Jesus or have God in school then why should santa be allowed there?

first of what is of importance is the fact that no where in the bible did Jesus command anyone to celebrate his birthday. he said to celebrate his death but not his birth.  in the third century of our common era as the roman empire was in decline . Constantine in order to solidify his power over the empire merged the Christian faith and the pagan faith, into one, a lot of the false doctrine that we now claim as christian came into being.  Jesus was born when the sheep where in the fields history has shown that DEC is still to cold to keep the flocks out at night.  the Christmas tree came into being in The 19th century, and Santa Claus as we know him today was started in the 17th century, the English oxford dictionary published in 1904 under Santa Claus says see Old nick. under old nick it says Satan the Devil.  the pagans in  Constantine time celebrated the winter solace, and a lot of its pagan roots are in Christmas today the giving of gifts , the mistletoe, etc

Not to much since the real meaning of Christmas is becoming taboo. \n\nI heard that the toys for tots rejected a talking Christ doll, because it would offend people. But the people that it would offend have no right to even be recieving those toys since it is for CHRISTMAS.\n\nQuote from the Article\n"As a government entity, Marines "don't profess one religion over another," Grein said Tuesday. "We can't take a chance on sending a talking Jesus doll to a Jewish family or a Muslim family." " http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061114/ap_on_re_us/jesus_doll_rejected

Santa is real.  He is real in your heart along with the Christmas spirit.  If you believe, then he is real.\n\nYou may not see him, but can you see love?

I would have to say yes Jesus cares because you all ready said Jesus was a good worker. Now who is he; he is the one that you need to replace. If it was me I would give Jesus a raise and get rid of ( He.)

Yes I believe in Santa Claus. There was a fellow who went around doing good deeds for people named Saint Nicholas. He was became a Saint in one of the branch of the Christian Religions. He lived in Turkey during the 4th Century and he was best known for his good deed to a poor man who had three daughters all of them wanted to get married but the father had no money for a dowery for each of his daughters. So that none of them would become prostitutes, Nicholas as he was called at that time went to the man's house and through an open window placed money in each of the daughter's stockings. Hence the idea of putting gifts in one stockings. There is a shrine to him in Bari Italy. Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of archers,children,prostitutes, lawyers and pharamacist plus a few other people in different trades. So yes there really is a Santa Clause and he wasn't made up by coke-a-cola.

Actually they are linked in a rather ironic way.\n\nEvery Christmas, the most powerful organizations in the Religious Right direct their time, money, attention and energy to getting the senior citizen paid below minimum wage at Walmart to say "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holiday." (It does mean HOLY-day, but that seems to escape them)\n\nWhich leaves them less time, money, attention and energy to pursuing their regular agenda.\n\nSo have a Merry Christmas! :-)\n\n~ Lib
