Santa is a Capitalist and Fearmonger

"On Christmas Day, the birthday of Jesus Christ, children around the world awake early to scramble for and salivate over their brand new consumer products, singing songs about Santa Claus and decorating their homes with homage's to the new religion. Jesus lurks in the background of the festivities, an uncomfortable reminder of how far the celebrations are from anything he once stood for. Santa Claus provides a much better spokesman for a festival and a society based on rampant greed and materialism..."

I think the early church slapped Jesus' birthday onto the pagan mid-winter festival on the basis of "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em".

Fellini. Saturnalia. Brumalia. Winter Solstice in Pagan Rome is December 25. Christians move birthday of Jesus to this date in 336 A.D. Janus Day and Beginning of Calendar Year January 1, set in 153 B.C. and again in 45 B.C. Now can I be on Jeopardy and wear my Leopardy velvet jumpsuit and say that Santa contributes to the delinquency of overage minors like myself?

Yeah, Christmas has hijacked the ancient pagan celebration of midwinter and turned it into a torture fest. Frinstance, thousands of my orange cousins are persecuted in this horrific juice-thirsty christingle ritual.
