Oh geez! Santa is not specifically a part of Christian culture. He's
neutral. Both Christians and non-Christians alike have Santa as a part of
the Christmas holiday. And as far as I know, Santa takes on different forms
in most parts of Europe, different countries having different folk tales
behind him.
Give me a break on this PC garbage.

Nope, not the only one, Kirby. I think its quite ironic people are actually
stifling culture while claiming to be sensitive to all cultures. If you
want to be sensitive to a culture, celebrate it!
Or, can we only celebrate non-white, non-American cultures? If that's the
case, well, why can't I whine about it? Its excluding me, a white American.
