You can't even mention Christ and Christmas in the same breath these days without someone wanting to sue you.
Santa Claus was brought to us by a combination of the English Father Christmas and the Dutch Sinterklaus.The Dutch had the whole idea of putting coals in bad little boys and girls stockings.
There of course buisnesses that run Christmas 365 all the time.For example my sister lives in North Pole,Alaska where they have Santa Claus House.
Speaking of which we have to get our Christmas shopping done soon before the snow and crowds.
