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.
Oh. I see. Well, Franklin Graham said that his entire family growing up as well as his kids and grandkids all love Christmas. He also said they gave gifts on Christmas morning. The weird part of the show was he said his mother always made 'oyster' stew for breakfast on Christmas morning. He said they all hated it; even his father Billy, but that they would try to eat it for her sake. He said he didn't know where the tradition of her 'oyster stew' came from, but they no longer do it. Other than that, he said Christmas is the most wonderful holiday of the year. Just don't base it all on material things, even if he does give the shoebox gifts to kids around the world who are less fortunate. Some people take giving/receiving gifts a bit too far. If you receive ONE gift during Christmas; then you've had Christmas. Be grateful and thankful you got that. Amen.
His father said there are other ways to the father. “Many roads” as he put it. It is pagan and it is actually preached against by our Lord himself.
Oprah said the same thing.
The ONLY way to the Father is Jesus Christ. He preached that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Period.
