"Santa" is not quite religious, even if based on St. Nicholas. Anyone can enjoy a spirit of joyful giving.
Santa is BASED off of St Nicholas. Just because most people in America want to associated Santa with a marketing, non religious, present giving type of way doesn’t mean that other Catholics in America don’t see Santa as just a non religious figure, but rather having a more deeper religious meaning to Santa
Edit to your edit: anyone CAN enjoy a spirit of giving, let other religions celebrate as they wish! But stop slowly taking away from us to display how we celebrate Christmas! I mean, if Santa wasn’t Christmas related, than why don’t people post up Santa during Independence Day or something?? Also, I Wonder what the reaction would be if the school board told Jews they will not be displaying or playing with dreidels during their holiday. I wonder…
The board said Santa was religious. I said not quite, so why not leave him. They said they want something the community can all be comfortable with and you agreed that anyone can enjoy joyful giving. That also happens to be a core Christian value. Why are you upset then, saying I want to take away a display or degrade religion? Turn it on them so they have to accept it. Same with the Hanukkah candles, they celebrate hope in a time of oppression.
Well said fren. I will pass that suggestion to the the community
She did say no menorahs.
Keep the menorahs as well! Let everyone celebrate as they wish! If you can’t have a Santa or Menorahs, then why bother having a celebration to begin with?? The whole purpose of these “holiday celebration” is based off religious reasons!
