Dear Confused,\n\nTonight heralds the coming of the Alka-Seltzer Tablet, foe of the dreaded Pumpkin Pie Fart and the Gravy Belch.

There was just a program on the Learning Channel about the UFOs in Illinois.  Triangular shaped craft, seen by many in the law enforcement community.  It was a 1/2 hour long documentary.  Yes, there is a Santa Claus............

Start anytime after Thanksgiving.  I used to work in a department store and they had Christmas decorations up before Halloween (very tacky).  We used to joke about needing to put jack-o'-lanterns and witches on the wreathes!

Russians do have Santa Claus (called Grandad the Frost or St.Nicolas), but he is a part of New Year tradition, not Christmas.  He comes thru the window. He puts presents under the New Year Tree (yes, it is New Year tree, not Christmas tree). There are no socks hanging for Santa to put candies in, he doesn't put candies in shoes either. In general, New Year celebration is much bigger than Christmas. Also, since Russian Orthodox religion dominates over Catholicism, Christmas is celebrated on the 7th of January. The church in Russia still uses the old Julian calendar, therefore their Christmas celebration is 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar that used by Catholic church.

I think it should be. It's kinda like a national holiday in California. Everyone is in action on Halloween.

It's just a b.s. made-up holiday. Do what I do, and celebrate it on the 15th. Take care.

Who is "God"? Who is "Satan"? Who is "Santa Claus"? Who is "Fred Flintstone"? \n\nOnce you've put it all together you'll have the answer you've been seeking.\n\nHope this helps :)

I can see how some would think that, yes. But Santa Claus is just made up and fictional, and its not like anyone worships him  or anything. He was just created to make the holiday more exciting, I think.

Wow..someone is really missing the whole point of christmas. Thats really sad Cynthia K if you dont know that the whole idea of santa claus was based on a man who really existed. Christmas is about the birth of jesus, and is about others being kind and warm to each other and showing how much they love each other. It was based on Saint Nicholas (dutch), who gave presents to poor children. The custom of giving gifts on a special day in winter was around before christianity came to be.  The first Dutch settlers who came to America had a figure of Saint Nicholas on the front of their ship. After christianity was well established, Saint Nicholas became a customary symbol among christians for christmas. The Dutch celebrated the feast day on December 6th and said Saint Nicholas visited their homes the night before leaving gifts. In time, English settlers adopted the legends and festivities associated with Saint Nicholas. English-speaking children spoke the Dutch name for the saint, Sinterklaas, quickly and excitedly so that it sounded like Santy Claus or Santa Claus.

If you've been a good boy/girl, :-) Santa will visit on Christmas Eve, Dec. 24th, only if you're sleeping though.
