After going through the fall of the cabal i kept getting this feeling that Santa was only created to distract us from Jesus during Christmas...No other religion has this, same with easter and a fucking rabbitt

NO! I just watched a Christmas Special by Greta Van Sustran and Franklin Graham. Christmas is celebrated around the world by many people. It is celebrated for Christ's birthday aka Christ Mass. Gifts are given by many such as why ST. Nick who really did exist in Germany who gave to the poor children who had hardly any food and such. The two were later combined as Jesus giving his gift of his Life for our Redemption, and St. Nick aka giving his gifts of money and toys to the children who had much of nothing. JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON. Santa is there to add to the fun of it all. He does not take away from it unless YOU ALLOW him to. As for the Elf on a Shelf, it's just a way for companies to make money. People can take things a bit too far.
The argument is that Christmas is all about material goods and does not represent Jesus at all.
Christ wanted His death celebrated.
Christ wanted His death remembered, not celebrated.
Exactly. Jesus didn’t have an ego lol
Honestly His death should be, and is celebrated along with His resurrection. He gave His life in a most painful way so that we could all be forgiven. The biggest selfless act of love in history. If that isn't worthy of celebrating then nothing is. Both parts - the death and the resurrection - should be celebrated. It's not celebrating that Jesus died - it is celebrating that He died for everyone.
Technically the last supper recreation is called a celebration in many places, but yes. The Old school term celebrate and current meanings are different.
