Santa Claus and Xmas are both Pagan originally..
Saint Nicholas' Day
When the old Gods ruled the world, Odinn the All-father rode the skies of Germania and Scandinavia in winter with a crowd of elves and spirits; those mortals who offered him reverence were rewarded with gifts.. In later years, Odinn's horse, elves and gifts became the accouterments of a Christian saint named Nicholas..
Nicholas lived in Asia Minor..Because he calmed the storms at sea during his life, he became the patron of sailors; and because he restored to life three murdered youths, he became the patron for boys..But the most famous tale concerning him was that of three maidens whose imppoverished father planned to sell them into slavery.. Nicholas redeemed them with three bags of dowry gold, which he flung through their windows one night and which landed on their shoes, set to warm before the fire..For this deed, he became the patron of maidens, and Frenchwomen prayed to him for husbands..
He also became the patron of pawnbrokers, and his bags of gold are remembered in the three golden balls that are the sign of the trade..
But gift-giving was his most important act..In Germany and Holland, children set out their shoes on the eve of his feast day, filling them with hay and carrots for his white horse, just as provender had been left for Odinn's horse by their ancestors.. Nicholas, they knew, would ride over the rooftops in the night with his elvish companion Knecht Ruprecht.. Ruprecht carried a switch for use on naughty young ones.. But Nicholas carried baskets of toys and sweets, to be left in the shoes of all good children...
That is the origin of Santa, and the red suit he wears has only been around since about the 1930's when he was part of a huge Coke campaign..
He is not the anti-Christ, he is just another stolen Pagan legend that the Christians say is wholly theirs, but like most of their festivals and beliefs, they all have Pagan roots...
Blessings.. )O(

No Santa is not The Anti-Christ and Santa is spanish for saint.The Anti-Christ would have been someone dead for thousands of years. Someone who crucified Christ Pontius Pilate or a Roman maybe. To Romans though Christ wasn't anyone special. To much time is given to Christ and not enough to other important people like Civil Rights Campaigners acivists ans Envirionmentalists.

No, Because The Figure of Santa Derives from St Nicholas, Therefore Its Not Anti-Christ.

we get the name santa clause from st. nickolas(i might have spelled it wrong) he was a bishop high up in the church, he went around giving gold coins to widows and children and making small wooden toys for them. he died and people started exagratting some of the things he did the church made him a saint . due to so many poor people "worshiping" him the church had him removed from saint status around the1700's so no he is not the anti christ. jesus wasn' even born in dcember. The bible says that john the baptist was born in march and jesus was born 6 months after him then jesus was born in september.

Your information of historic past is so infantile which you urgently would desire to do some consumer-friendly reading till now you initiate throwing around 0.5-baked nonsense like anagrams of "devil." a million. "Santa" is a contraction of "Saint Nicholas," who replaced right into a real-existence bishop and is the buyer saint of sailors, retailers, and pawnbrokers. He calmed seas, stored sailors, and stored some boys from a terrible destiny. His easily delivery was once celebrated approximately this time. The traditions of yuletide greenery come from pagan rituals of in seek of green interior the lifeless of wintry climate as a reminder of renewal. 2. Our present day "Santa" comes from a recent (nineteenth Century) sentimental poem by ability of a guy named Clement Moore. The fat guy interior the crimson experience comes from a political cartoonist of he time, Thomas Nast, an artist so recommend-lively that we get the understanding "nasty" from his call. 3. Jesus replaced into certainly no longer born in late wintry climate, besides the undeniable fact that it isn't any longer undemanding to have fun His delivery and Easter dying on an identical time. The Roman church, with its widely used Medieval cynicism, desperate to herald some greater pagans by ability of layering Christmas on magnificent of the Roman ceremonial dinner of Saturnalia, a midwinter pageant of renewal. 4. the business component of yuletide did no longer initiate till the 1920's and resumed whilst human beings have been grateful to have money after WWII and the melancholy. 5. easily you're no longer so willfully ignorant as to place the powers of the Antichrist on the style of frail determine as Santa Claus. I helpful desire you meant all this as an problematic shaggy dog tale, yet i've got seen adequate of this type of drivel to be annoyed--and that i'm no longer even Christian.

The bible says that the anti-christ will not be revealed until after the rapture so if you know who he is, you've been left behind.
