Look who I caught a picture of while I was out for a bit today.
BTW, I took this with my new HP Photosmart E327 5.0 Megapixel camera I got for Christmas this year.  |

What is this? A fat pagan begging for toys with an irritating bell?
Oh, santa clause... right. |

Glad to be of service.
Actually, Santa Claus is just about the only thing about Christmas that isn't fully taken from the pagans. He is based on the Bishop of Myra, Turkey, during the 4th century A.D., Hagios Nikolaos later known as St Nicholas. |

My daughter likes Santa. That makes him fine by me.
Christmas is about family to me. I don't think anyone in my family or my in-laws even said the word god and the only Jesus reference I remember is a t-shirt given to me as a gag gift that says "Jesus Rocks" on it and has a pic of him with a guitar.
My in-laws are great. |

Modern Christmas has very little to actually do with the Christ. |

Something we agree on.
I guess I can see how that would upset many Christians but I like my secularized, commercialized, merchant scam version.  |

I got a t-shirt that shows Jesus holding a classic Nintendo controller with the message "Jesus Saves After Completing Each Level", which is advice I think we can all agree with.

Yeah, the worse he can do is give you a lump of coal and at today's prices coal has some real value.  |

Did you know that Santa uses some "Christmas magic" to turn the cookies he eats into the coal? And you probably thought "Mr Hankey" was the "Christmas poo". |
