He came from a rich family and was noted for being quite generous, leaving somewhat anonymous gifts for the poor and otherwise destitute.<BR/><BR/>So, if his spirit lives on in the fable, I see nothing to be upset about.<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas!Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15109540.post-69475768415987724322007-12-24T02:42:00.000-05:002007-12-24T02:42:00.000-05:00So well said.So well said.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16600646161985648267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15109540.post-83125699191323996332007-12-23T12:34:00.000-05:002007-12-23T12:34:00.000-05:00It's just the idiot PC crowd that wants to control...It's just the idiot PC crowd that wants to control everything we do or say.

I was raised non religious as were many people I know and for us Santa is secular so what's the big deal about celebrating him even if you are not of a particular faith? He is faith-less. It's such a shame.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09330391724110107705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15109540.post-17900484099877677082007-12-23T02:50:00.000-05:002007-12-23T02:50:00.000-05:00I have one thing to say.........I BELIEVE!!!Merry ...I have one thing to say.........<BR/><BR/>I BELIEVE!!!<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas to you and yours and a Blessed New Year!Martiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049225962948888764noreply@blogger.com
