Santa is Jesus's cousin. We celebrate his birthday on the 25th cause thats the day Santa hatched.

No! Santa is NOT the son of Jesus! Santa is made up, St. Nicholas is real. He was a Saint who gave presents to kids. And we do not celebrate Santa's birthday, we celebrate Jesus Christ's birthday. Divide up the word! CHRIST-mas. Although Jesus' birthday is thought to be in April.

Santa has nothing to do with Jesus - we celebrate Jesus' birthday on December 25th

Well, you are confusing your mythology! The mythology of the Judeo-Christian Jesus was actually born sometime in the spring...but with a couple thousand years and various calendar changes...it is now December.Next Myth: December seemed more fitting because this is a time when families in fridgid regions would bring evergreen trees into their homes because they wouldnt see any green for many months until the snow and frost melted away. During that time of year everything looked drab, many people died from the elements, so to "brighten homes and spirits" people began decorating their evergreens in their homes (hence modern-day christmas tree). Next Myth: Giving presents, during the spring when Jesus was born, it was said in that big book of fairy tales that 3 wise men brought a few spices as gifts. So, it became passed along that we now must give gifts. Myth: Santa was developed by corporate greed, "the nicer" you are the MORE present you get. Obviously children dont understand that gifts cost money and have nothing to do with how nice you are throughout the year, through advertisements and peer pressures, parents feel they must buy every single thing their rotten children whine for...etc.

Santa is just a mytholigical figure who parents tell stories to their kids about. Jesus was not born on December 25. We have no way in knowing Jesus's exact birthday, but December 25 is the day we celebrate HIS birthday.

Santa Clause was a saint Saint Nickolas his name was Nicolas Clause and Santa means Saint...he always went to the village and brought children gifts when they slept one night in DEcember. WE don't celebrate Santa's birthday on December 25th we celebrate Jesus's birthday on december 24th Christmas Eve.

santa was a saint who did good things and people started to celebrate Christmas[the -mas in Christmas means birth; Christmas means birth of Christ or Jesus Christ] by giving each other gifts as Saint Nickolas, or Santa, did; he didnt give gifts because it is something good to do, but because ''For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son[Jesus Christ] that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.''that is John 3:16. God gave Jesus to the world to save the world from the infinate firey depths of hell and spare us from satens hold on us because we have sined and the price for sin is eternal death, or in other words we cant go to heaven. we practice the same act, giving a gift, every Christmas. its not about getting but about giving. so no santa is not the sun of Jesus, and no we dont celebrate santas bithday on december 25th he was born some other day. santa is just a figure head used to show litle kids to be good and it doesnt do any good at all compared to telling kids about the real story, the nativity story. i dont know exactly what passage it is in but it can be found in the books of john,matthew, mark and luke.it allways starts at 1:1 in each of the four books. i hope this answers ur question

Yes, there is historical data that would suggest that Santa is in fact the son of Jesus.
Santa also died on good friday...but cheer up, I hear he rose from the dead on Easter to deliver baskets and the like.

I don't think anyone celebrates Santa's birthday on the 25th. What nationality are you?
