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…
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!
"Santa" is not quite religious, even if based on St. Nicholas. Anyone can enjoy a spirit of joyful giving.
