st. nicholas was an orthodox miracle-worker.

the tree is a pagan symbol. jesus kicked a lot of pagan ass and apparently santa is an asatruar.

shrimp tonight...prime rib tomorrow...as for the other questions I don't the answers to those..
yea johnson is right st nicolas is the name and he came from Turkey.question remains,why is that combined with the birth of christ?I allways notice in american movies,that your chrismas is way more about santaclaus then about jesus.in my country we celebrate st niclolas at dec. 5th,one day before his birthday.our santaclaus lives in spain,not on the northpole,and comes with a boat(the arrival is a big event)I guess both stories are equally weird..
I myself dont believe in the ghost of xmas future.but if I did,he's tell me to knock it off.
were having one of those gourmet dinners,where you have to make your own food with small pans.apperently most dutch do that nowadays.

santa is really god
1.2 and what has that tree to do with the both?
it was decided that to pay respects for jesus, offerings should be left under a tree in the forest every christmas. people began to get confused about which tree it was, so they started adding decorations. then one year when they went to leave the offerings under the tree, they noticed a bunch of gifts, mostly for children, signed "from santa"
see, god felt that they didn't need to leave offerings anymore, so under the false identity called "santa" he began to leave gifts for all the sweet little children. as an attempt to get more gifts for their children, parents began to get trees that looked a lot like that special tree in the forest and decorate it. god/santa wasn't really fooled, but he's been in a giving mood ever since that whole ark and rain incident, so he though "what the heck, i'll give them all gifts. they are celebrating my son's birth and all"
so there you go, that's the story of the christmas tree :)
2. what is the ghost of xmas future gonna tell you tonight?
that next year's christmas won't be like any christmas i've ever had before
3.what are you having for dinner?
