[QUOTE="shtove, post: 163503"] Santa Claus = San Nicklaus = Saint Nicholas. This is really a German thing, with the toys and elves etc. Christmas trees were introduced to England through a German royal family, and Charles Dickens ramped up the sentiment with his story telling. When the Americans got involved, it turned in to a great marketing opportunity. To get past all the nonsense, you really need to celebrate with a Catholic family and attend midnight mass while sober. It also helps if you're a believer in Christ. I'm looking forward to the endless radio repeats of Shane McGowan's [i]Fairytale of New York [/i]- and all the women saying, "That Kirsty McColl, she's dead now - killed by a man. Merry Christmas!" Funniest thing about the festivities is when people go bananas - little girls over their "barby what speaks" presents, and grandads raking in penny bets from the card games. Oh yeah - turkey or goose? Turkey is a 'Jonny come lately' - we are gooooosers ... which causes loud farting and a succulent atmosphere. [/QUOTE]
