it's the day before christmas. a festive day. the day santa claus fetches his reindeer. this is comet, his old companion. to day santa will load toys by the thousands on to his sleigh. the words of the children's letters from around the world resonate in his ears as his sleigh takes off through the night sky, towards the many children excitedly awaiting him. santa is used to traveling the world, visiting many countries where he is usually well received. but one night in december 1951 and the french city of dijon in front of santobin cathedral and effigy, was burning of a mannequin representing him they were burning santa. but why? soon a photo of the scene appeared in french newspapers with the following explanation. it wasn't an attraction, but a symbolic gesture for us christians christmas must remain the anniversary of the birth of our savior. jesus christ santo was being associated with ally and portrayed as a figure in opposition to jesus christ and christianity. this is the story of a conflict that goes back millennia. ah of it. otherwise the santa claus is famous all over the world of all the basically he's conquered the entire planet here. for example, we have a brazilian santa from 19 o 7, a classic, but he's got the hood in front. i don't know why. here's a canadian santa, he's classic tube, cuz he's in read. of course i'd audrey as for the african santa, i think he's great. he's made with glad talks packaging made to kill flies. this one is perfect though, cuz i don't have the japanese one here, but the whole world worships santa claus. otherwise, ah, among the thousands of representations of santa claus, one stands out. the one of an early ancestor replugged ill settled down the 1st ancestor of santa claus is found in mythology a 1000 years before christ naughty. there was a god in the scandinavian countries in the nordic countries suit who was called bowden hill. and this god oh to day was very peculiar, good off because gods are usually were show to play it. we give money to people who take care of the gods and to the priests for protection, yet we give material things to get immaterial. things sits in and this god, the 1st of his kind did the opposite of shit. he was the one who gave he did. so he had a thrown in heaven with 2 wolves of what is that he had to ravens are which he sent down to earth to find out whether the children were good or not. and he would reward them at the time of the winter solstice between december 17th to december, 25th, and we'll set gabe sick. and then in rome, it started in the 5th century b. c. until the 4th century, a deal there was a goddess called stranger, a very important goddess to the other boy. and at the time of the winter, solstice, vale, she wouldn't bring gifts at the lot. it was in her name that the roman patricians that the people of the roman high society offered gifts to each other, such as sweets or gold objects that he pulled it well among all of santa's ancestors. there's also a particular roman god who is worshipped at the end of the year when the sun goes down on the horizon and seems to disappear forever. ah, dionte immune dimensions. he said that they were very important celebrations in rome. saturnalia festivities manifests of the people gave feasts and parties in honor of the gods. sasha, the god of agriculture, you'll have to know p l. viola, because she thought that you, lima, employee teacher. during this period of transition, cow, people would celebrate chaos, inordinate but he's studying, lord d, nicky kennedy. they will challenge the natural order of the ladies out in i know it . i love fina delano up until janese me see. and for the festivities, a king was elected to increase the clean up. i'd be glad the king of the saturnalia . yeah. yeah. machine. yeah. but he was an ephemeral king because he embodied the spirit of a feast that celebrates the end of a cycle. he maybe becky, a got her nor received the de la faced that unified stuff k finish here. it was the richer last moment during which the usual order of things was revoked. inquiry in mo mean to disorder, to the north delivery. and it was staged with characters who any means, according to certain rights, yet it would put to death symbolically. i could have added to the live feed, would it get a 2nd or dead ttp then that needed to take some time. some they were burned at the stake and the typical odd it avoids that. did it today as blue shot the dead? typical indeed. all ye the king of saturnalia is doomed to disappear yet to be reborn, but next year. but in time such pagan rites would fade away as a new god rises. the god of the christians ah, 2000 years ago in palestine, a little baby was born, whom some followers came to regard as god. and over a period of time, they agreed that it would be a good idea to celebrate his birthday. in 354, a de the roman catholic church decided to place jesus christ's birthday on december 25th. during the pagan celebration of the winter assaulted the rebirth of the undefeated son. this was a very smart move by the christians, leading more pagan believers into their new faith. the child, in an animal stall, attended by shepherds with angels in the background and mysterious visitors from the east bringing gifts. and these 3 astonishing gifts gold, frankincense and murderer are the basis of giving at christmas, ah, yard on your way to the children. among the many generous figures associated with santa history, one is especially central the one of saint nicholas ah, here we are in turkey, and his hometown mirror now called deborah. standing in the church garden is a statue of saint nicholas. as you can see, it looks a lot like santa claus. and inside the church of fresco, recount the moments when nicholas his life turned into legend over time, saint nicholas became the patron saint of a great many cities. when he died, all kinds of wonderful mythology sprang up around him so that he became in time the most important saint in heaven. next to the virgin mary's, he had the power of flight. he could magically fly. he also had the power to be in several different places. at the same time. he's the patron saint of prisoners, sailors, butcher's, children, and of the french province of la haine. that's it. oh, oh, fossil in france, everyone knows the legend of the 3 little children that a we could put you on the wicked and keep it depending on the vision. wanted to cut into pieces and put in the soap barrel like pigs. and after 7 years, saint nicholas came into the in all to butcher shop and resurrected the 3 children . oh, i in 1087 ag. faced with the invasion of turkey by the saracens, italian sailors took saint nicholas his coffin to the city, bari enshrining his remains in the main church. then a french crusader brought his relics to a small town in la haine, named san nicolai depot. here every year on december 6th, his followers gather and sing to commemorate his birth. ah in addition to resurrecting the 3 boys saint nicholas his life was marked by numerous acts of generosity. he became the patron of children and a bearer of gifts. but be warned. although saint nicholas brings gifts, he is also the one who punishes michigan the. those are probably grew up in a suburb of luck. some will exist. who are? nope on that night as well. and esau slippers in front of our bedroom door read about dow when in the morning we'd look and sometimes we'd find a little stick, which meant deserved a spanking. and no present ain face a because her father had a large a stick. he's fine because if need be, who, hey, give you have a more than we usually received a little mozambique or something like that. the must. but the gift was small. somebody pretty ah, labor clash, a good, a glitch and bring on soccer. allow hum. it's a cook offensive martin. oh, some shane and him and slammed by the dia, post united television. is us yet, or by the name? i think a high level here though. fear then years a do have your bring on spirit. good sigh. ah, jamal bed goes, you did my mom to pity? i remember when i was really little while ago, i caught my dad in the carriage or the neighbor changing clothes a shot. and i thought that's all about the idea. i didn't understand 6 of these 2 are because the big metaphysical properly for children to admit that he who is nicholas fit, kiffany goler. ah, we can think of saint nicholas as a kindly man bringing goodies, but he was also very stern. and in this, he was also useful to the parents of europe because he could carry a switch ah, with which to beat children out who did not know their catechism that were disobedient. and sometimes in this mission, he is accompanied by a, a rather terrifying figure. the crew of it, this was perf who ta with him. good god. there was always some one who is dressed all in black, who's scraggy and unkempt. he carried a bundle of sticks for whipping, naughty children i told both within had gotten them all in the french city of mess. there's a story about the origin of paff with ha, or father wiper. one document recounts that in december of 1552 when the city was besieged by charles the 5th of the holy roman empire. the cities tanner's formed a procession with a grotesque whip wielding effigy of charles, which was set on fire and dragged through the streets. later every year on december 6th, which was the feast of saint nicholas local stage, the procession with an ash covered effigy now called pathway. ah, ah, don't all literary long time of things. well separated shouldered is your field of religion, was the one of baby jesus on the eve, december, the 24th in the field of sin. nicholas who later became santa claus was on another date. may miss things got complicated, he ah, ah, what we have in the 1500s is an astonishing religious revolution that we call the protestant reformation. ah, europeans were very much against christmas and the post and his i'm in general because a central to the idea of posts into them is to strip away all of the accretion which christianity got over one and a half 1000 years. and to go back to the christianity as it was in the bible. and one of the things they agree on is that the cult of saints has become dangerous. that the saints are in, in peril of replacing god as the object of one's prayers. so they abolish the cult of saints and wisdom go saint nicholas. saint nicholas disappears as a christmas gift bringer in many parts of europe. by, by saint nicholas. at least they didn't burn you, but you will be back because as the l se hiding a st doesn't make him disappear. yes. so at that point, traditions that were taking place on december the push back push back to christmas . the date was baby. jesus was born in germany, in particular, the figure of the baby jesus christ, kendall is the germans say, was invented in strasburg. the rules of the reform were applied in 1570. a pastor spoke out against the practice of giving gifts to children on saint nicholas day. the saint nicholas market, which is held on december 6th, was renamed. the order was to call it the market of the child, jesus, or crist, kendall, marked in our station. the figure of the baby. jesus is wonderfully theologically correct, but it's a difficult social act to perform, to imitate the acts of saint nicholas saint nicholas was good, but he was also frightening. and nobody is going to be frightened by the baby jesus as saint nicholas can carry huge sacks or baskets. of goodies, a baby can't me. and so we see in the 1500s, the development of a change in the shape of the christ child. and the appearance of frightening helpers. european folklore is full of beasts that appear at christmas and you don't know whether they're going to kill you or give you a gift. ah yes you see there were fairies, lots of characters. for instance, you have the foreigner in italy, she was an old windows and up to trade as an old woman who's a bit of a witch. your whole laugh. she flew in the sky on a broom. she had a hood on her back containing the present with which she filled the sock, the children left near their window. i'm a little remind you to be looking next. if it weren't good fun, i knew it. she would get them ashes and tony cut born at all for if they were good while he would bring them some things that looked like soften coal. but was made of black sugar. kind of bully deutscher. he do settles needle each country has its creature meant to frighten children. compos connect oppressed spot the peat. gaila should see. ah, the protestant reformation and its religious precepts now prevail in a large part of europe. in england, the winter figure referred to as father christmas, was even the object of a trial for some protestants, the new doctrines were not respectful enough of the strict teachings of the bible. these puritans decided to leave europe and settle in a new land where they would be allowed to live in accordance with their faith. these pilgrims 1st set foot on the american continent in $1620.00, and started new colonies. according to their faith, christmas was not worthy of celebration and was therefore abolished. it became a regular workday. any one celebrating christmas in the colony could be punished with a heavy fine any reference to the saints, including saint nicholas was forbidden. busy but other migrants coming here from other countries brought with them their own religious faith and traditions. the situation in the cities at christmas and new years had become a social problem. it became dangerous to be out on the streets in boston, and philadelphia and new york gangs would take to the streets. they would bang on pots and pans and blue horns. they would jostle decent middle class folk. they would interrupt church services at a time when police forces were um, just in the beginning and, and could not deal with this. in 1800, the situation in new york city became dire. the city was flooded with new migrants . the puritans considering them barbarians, abandoned part of the city. in manhattan barricades were erected to protect law abiding citizens from unruly gang organizations, such as the new york historical society were founded, with the goal of creating a more respectable city. since america had no shared history and no shared culture, this new historical society was looking for a common identity. and surprisingly, it's members decided to turn to saint nicholas. john penn tarred was the founder of the new york historical society. he was a member of a masonic lodge, made up by descendants of dutch families. it was penned hard who rekindled the flame of the center cloth, the dutch saint nicholas. he presented him as a grumpy bishop holding a stick, standing beside a hive. a masonic symbol santa is now a freemason. john pinta tried to make santa claus. saint nicholas the patron saint of new york. and so one thing spend todd was trying to do was to get a tradition that wasn't english. there was another member of the new york historical society, and his name was washington irving, and he was a comical right to. he was a satirist and he found pins hard enthusiasm for se nicholas very, very funny. and so he wrote a spoof history of new york and in his parody history, st. nicholas santa claus keeps appearing and helping the settlers to build houses, sort of appearing after the sky smoking a pipe. washington irvings spoof history of new york with a massive best seller. it was a huge, the hugely popular book in early america. and people loved the story. then they started telling them to the children as truth. and for the 1st time, a new name appeared in a drawing. ah santa claus, a name and a story destined for a bright future. the that was a 3rd member of the new york historical society called climate carpool. who wrote a children's poem called it, twas the night before christmas and it was a very, very popular poem. the santa claus is on a sleigh, which is drawn by reindeer, and he comes down the chimney himself and comes out into the fireplace with the presence and wishes everybody a merry christmas it was the night before christmas when what to my wondering eyes should appear. but a miniature sleigh and 8 tiny reindeer. as i drew in my head and was turning around down the chimney, saint nicholas came with a bound the stump of the pipe. he held tight in his teeth, and the smoke encircled his head like a reef. he had a broad face and a little round belly that shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jetty. he was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf. ah farewell bishop saint nicholas. here comes an elf. later in the 1900 century, that is a guy called thomas nice to as an illustrator. and he's the guy who really sets down the santa claus that we know and that we still see on christmas cards and that santa claus, the children. imagine of the jolly fat man with the bed and the pipe. me ah ah, ah, and during the american civil war in the 800 sixty's, he drew a series of patriotic drawings for a magazine that featured santa claus on the side of the union. ah, and the face he gave them was that of the kindly grandfather that had been suggested by twas the night before christmas. and whatever else santa claus wears around the world. now in whatever country he's in, he will look like the face that thomas nast gave him an order aspect of santa claus . it's very much that he's a house breaker. he's an old man who sneaks into your house and he actually breaks that family bubble to some extent. ah, it's very strange when you think about it. we tell our children that there is an old man who's broken into their bedroom and that they should be happy about. ah acoya. i mean, when christmas would come, santa would always show up. only he would come in the evening around 6 o'clock off to saunter and dinner because he always made a lot of noise knocking on the wall, knocking on the door. good this amy. i your god like diets. if the said only had he had a cane and he would shake like an old man, golly gather to get b as it had santa claus would ask. are there any good children here that i gave up and we were very scared. oh that thou bod koya. hiding behind now mother the lawyer is let me santa claus would come and sit with us and ask if she had been good cuz i live down gosh, got yellow guilty and i would answer yes i have been good the yeah, i wasn't crying glove and the new yeah, ah, with the industrial revolution christmas and santa claus soon became associated with a profound change in that social order. the boers was opposed to lower class values . the communal traditions associated with christmas, like we're sailing bang on people's doors demanding alcohol wearing masks. this replaced by this inward looking family as opposed to community your table as opposed to the streets your foss site, as opposed to the whole city. this new om inward looking. i'm celebration. oh yes. then why should you mind me? said she, the poor people were really being kept at a distance due to them all people didn't want to see them off yet they wanted them to be more submissive, more amenable and tear terrace oliver. it and the bourgeois family became a very important part of society as having grown rich at the expense of the working class that mark was described. martha addiction for the bush were family christmas became one of the great annual gatherings. one during which people honored their own members, if it showcased this social success and boosted their children's ambitions to charlotte. oh, it will not be, shall praise offer. mm. and away this is shift from a religious celebration to a family celebration whether it was in england and france or in the us. there wasn't a family reunion of christmas before that you. 6 ah, the protestants band, catholic religious songs, and replaced them with new testament psalms. so when english writer charles dickens wrote a christmas carol, he describes a society that is divided between rich greedy misers and poor, but generous people. the christmas tale tells the story of how one of these misers becomes a better man. thanks to ghosts that visit him. they make him realize that charity and generosity can save him from doom because he did tell them how he was giving readings of his tale in boston, paris, and in london, of course of christ. and people would rush to see him in paris. people described a huge line in front of the british embassy in the middle of winter. low income people were in t is yet in boston. a wealthy businessman called fairbanks showed up and reading. after listening to the christmas story read by the author himself, he decided to offer a turkey to each of his workers for christmas, and gave them the day off to celebrate christmas law. it all happened. it wasn't a holiday at the time that says, hey, daniel, hello, yes, one more english kimberly this present the diesel club concept in england is a very interesting one. not that a lot of when you because the bosses force their work is to save money during the year. so they could celebrate christmas with dignity. and by the famous goose, which was the english dish, or this notion of a christmas that is reconnected to morality, reconnected to religion and the american gift of a santa claus figure is going to combine in the 19th century. authentic in fact give. we're a part of this to begin with. i says more if i need to be someone to bring, i guess if i had 1st to carry to bringing gifts, dependent on with jeff. but gradually it became the same one. that was, it was sad to close. he brought the kids this once it became known if he laid organ i the american style sounds close also became a major commercial figure who invaded the advertising sphere. santa became universally famous thanks to guess what the department stores. they were becoming very popular at the time, and they enrolled santa as their number one sales clerk. ah alternator gay between the 2 old wars on record, santa claus became the ideal partner to promote new products to add up. so you should have both. then he also became bit naughty on the edges, palpable bit of a scum back. do have who was used to push big cigars. liquor and easy were mythical pho, exempted from leisure. i think this is a nice little figuring. ah . but for a long time, santa claus was controversial for another reason to some character tourists in the 1920 to 30. his grandma, the santa figure was ambiguous, figuratively, desantos, for the rich chief can not necessarily for the pool on the privileged. among the critical characters you have, one of the most beautiful is that of a child 1st shall a parisian roof and off on, surrounded by chimneys in for it. the title is here where the night disappears. along with hold of the city, the child is he santa claus on his donkey as a white shadow in the distance and says in awful that he's not coming here local where he scorned the chimneys without fire. there could be norwood or sometimes in a vis center was green. it was sometimes red to the shimmy. they thought it was a gradual transformation appear that were even gray centers. so central change of color several times yesterday to die. the traces still remained at the other end of the red sensor is the traditional one rod, but in some places the salvation army has a grain. santa renewed over basements. it sometimes reads answer is getting a hand to green sandy to homeroom, as if not to forget anywhere. we had already filled the what is it, you know? yes, santa claus was indeed exploited by advertisers and brands among which the best known as coca cola could you see go cut? coca cola certainly didn't invent santa claus, the brand just used to santa claus. and santa agreed at the time because he wanted to be famous deco says saint nicholas was already very famous, but santa wasn't at the time. take will you be through coca cola? he found a sponsor who boosted his celebrity with us, so it serves the interests of both cecilia that they need to do only this transition of period last it almost until the 1950. so when sense of funding of winds, coin opa but santa claus is so powerful, christmas is so powerful that they call forth enemies. and one of these enemies is totalitarianism. in the soviet union, after the revolution, celebrating christmas was considered bourgeois, thus discouraged. so the communist party decided to revive a non religious figure, dead. moreover, the slavic wizard of winter, under the soviets dead morose, was made to look like a blue santa who came to offer gifts to the children. not at christmas, but for the new year's holiday. of course, dead morose as imagery was soon used to praise the revolution and glorify the working class of the new regime. another totalitarian party that also decided to exploit santa's image for its own benefit was the nazi party. when i'm the nazis take power in 1933. their 1st thought that the nazis had is just to co op to christmas. so they will try and associate naziism with all of the good things of christmas. and so the ss tries to pagan eyes christmas, they want to move the celebration from december 25th to december 21st, the winter solstice. this is met with a good deal of resistance by the german population. when they sing silent night, they don't want to have that verse in which hitler is mentioned above him, it is in a haughty, even before the 1940, just curious people used santa to oppose the nazis in the hipaa. both much harmony and in french al serra lobby carried get through caricatures, appeared in which santa claus carried not seen a signal and nazi propaganda in his sack. it would either be liberal, forgotten that after the nazi invasion occupied countries in europe had to supply nearly $6000000.00 prisoners of war to german factories as forced labor and france . this was enforced by the conservative government headed by mouth shall be done. baton wasn't very popular because of his willingness to collaborate with hitler loaded into your hearts. liberation in the 1940s marshal pitai used everything he could even show he true in all available means including santa claus himself. i hope he did 2 things either 1st to meet the local children in the name of santa claus. he pretended to be sometime in orlando did it something even more despicable or difficult? in 1941, he organized a letter writing competition aimed at the children of war, prisoners. there was to be only one wind up a french discharge in your part of the me. the idea was simple, this kids would write a letter to their father. and if they won, that dad would be released from the prison camp and sent to france for christmas. that are difficult. the problem was cut off with absolute, their fathers was sent back to prison. camps reported to get approval over the phone completed. ah, sir. ah. and in the aftermath of world war 2, department stores hired santa's by the thousands. but 1st, the santa's had to take classes at newly created santa claus schools. oh, fit my mother up in france. santa claus only really becomes important after world war to go. now she get with the adoption of a more american lifestyle after the war. people want to soil they kids knew about me for the 1st high school christmas eve. tina rossi sings the son. the promised his little children, gifts by the thousands, in toy factories open up everywhere. when you industrialized production methods produce more affordable toys to spoil the children wiffle. ah, but where does santa live it is rumored that he lives near the north pole? but where exactly is it in canada, in greenland, or in lapland? what is certain is that the official santa claus village was opened in 1985 near the finished town of ro vanny, emmy. right on the arctic circle. it's become the largest santa theme park in the world. more than $500000.00 visitors come here every year from all countries and religion. so hello. oh hello, please come here. good morning. how are you today? get so financial country. good. don't, don't, don't be afraid. don't be afraid shortly here, just take it easy to fade. so let's start with the phone too. so we'll get the order on the la do oh, do you think? i hope not center cuz i have a long list of on the multi list. okay, so i try to understand so, so if you try a little bit harder, you might get to the nice list. so i am on the not the list. maybe you never know. what do you, what do you think is so what do you think this would be really good this year? okay, that's good. that's a good start. that's a good start to continue the same weight. mm. santa himself seems to be on the naughty list as well. he was accused by the un of causing neuroses and children who were being forced to believe in an old man whose existence is doubtful. hello, sarah. so this is when the pagan and the christian celebrations began competing with each other. new york or chaos is priests addressed, believe is asking them to speak about santorini. no valley did you believe in 1951 in an underprivileged parish of dijon, france, a group of parishioners rejected santa for his consumerist attitude and for up staging jesus. so they dressed up a mannequin at santa and set it on fire in death to d met. it's esther of putting santa claus to death and diesels can be interpreted as an active sacrifice. will me just to defeat you? it is similar to the one carried out during saturnalia, this disease in ancient rome, the land lease. not only in the sense that santa claus is like the ephemeral king of the roman period, today, the apc, he really isn't in the next 48 hours when these images were seen all over france. so it caused a big scandal really big scandal. every one saw that the church had burned sand. totally booked, reveal the draught as it turns out, the mayor of please john felix here, who was also a religious man, vivid on to prove with the burning. so the next day, he staged an opposing spectacle effect in which santa was lowered from one of the tallest buildings in dijon in the city hall, rooftop repair. but then it gets sent out a press release, denying the center was dead and stating, burning had been fast. ah, eliza prompted a cormick between intellectuals that lasted several years will. she had europe yogi the car, i for a newspaper, provided a forum for defenders and opponents. the defendant, santa claus may rise dollar go in the pro santa come. there were french intellectuals, lashaun cato, she'll birth escrow oh, cro levy straus housekeeper quarter, dedicated a special essay to santa fillmore with you. the debates became very he, for his crew pro proves you know, as long as the child believes in santa, his soul is pure. he can see god, my only regret and murdering santa claus is taking away the season, a livelihood from those in the stores. do you want your children to confuse christ with the man who brings the presents? i accuse you of never king santa's condemnation to be burned and public to burn santos to burn children as heretic that they believe in it. and if they do not believe in it to burn their dreams, the point is not explaining why children love santa, but rather why adults invented him. despite the controversies of the past the day, the enthusiasm for santa is undiminished. every year. millions of childrens and letters the santa all over the world. santa's official post office and ravone. emmy received 17000000 letters from 100 countries in 1985 postal systems everywhere. have had to adapt to this incredible situation. mitchell said alloy should, you know, santa, i'll tell you the secret at being keyed isn't easy either. every one wants the children to be good and to work hard at school device. you're url for not to forget the batteries because it's always annoying to receive a gift. and might be able to try it out right away, because the batteries of missing lucas hunger followed in france. the person who was decisive in making it official to respond to letters to santa news is a minister named shock. my router, please check my when he was put in charge of supervising the postal says to do it, he felt it wasn't acceptable that hundreds of thousands of letters were mailed to santa before reached their destination. in your info. locate a sorry i created santa team of personal secretary has mold death, and he asked his sister francoise merritt to be santa's 1st secretary. lisa could thunderbird. francoise merritt is better known as the writer francois door, to his daughter too, ah, from swan's dole to understood how important it is for children to develop their imagination pool awful, by the way. yeah, that's also the reason why jean cocktail have been so virulent and angry against francois maria and the opponents of santa claus. he told them, you break the dreams of children. you don't have the right to do that. please our doing the boxes pacifies which children send us to move over the world. because growing up is about taking a step away. the kids said that they pacifies a milk bottles and cuddled to little little children when they don't need them anymore. they leave them here for me and we recycle them to the baby reindeers recycling. very good. well another aspect of santa claus and father christmas is it's a right of passage for children to learn that he doesn't exist and that he is. in fact, your father probably just bringing the presence on all that 6 winds at primary school at well, it's compulsory now. and that's where the oldest students would mock up and say, ha, they still believe in se nicholas glass and he could then after a year or 2, we found out the big secret kinetic politics or parent bus stuff like the name sometimes on tv, their commercials with toys on sale, so i wondered if santa makes toys or why they for sale for profound for my son, legible, your cook, unless i had to bring them said there's really no use in buying them, don't you think? and i think that's when i started having doubts, and i thought i'll post if they're on sale, this is that means the parents probably have to pay for the kid in school. ah. and now santos, facing a new garage of criticism. will he survive it? the fight is on. he's targeted, it's jesus versus santa, who represents the true spirit of christmas. the original one santa is the symbol of capitalism, the destroyer of the planet, with a terrible carbon footprint. santa is all about junk food. his health is catastrophic. co lester, all diabetes, hypertension, possibly lung cancer because of his smoking habits. people want to hang him to crucify him. they criticize them of having waited years before introducing himself as a black santa. what do you expect? he's only the image of those who created him. a reflection of our society. it took him a long time to be accepted as a black man, especially in some parts of the us. in the netherlands, a controversy has arisen around saint nicholas. his faithful companion swore to peet or black peat. people criticize this dutch tradition for being racist and portraying the mean guy as a black man. this has led to demonstrations against this tradition. the dutch authorities have responded by making black pete less black. the new narrative is that he's covered in ashes because he fell down the chimney. but one of the, an absolute constance of the history of christmas is people always complaining that it's been losing its true. meaning. people have been boring that we've lost gossum the true sense of christmas. and so christmas is necessarily in a static time. when we look back and we worry that we have lost something i, i don't think the interesting thing is that christmas has become commercial. i think the interesting thing is how worried we all the christmas has become commercial is that is i'll worry about the way the sati as a whole is heading from time immemorial. people have either tried to appropriate his image or get rid of him. he's been been an forbidden sacrificed hanged, burned, but santa still returns every winter, sometimes under another name or with a slightly changed appearance. as long as there are people who still believe in him, he will continue to survive in the hearts and souls of the child within us all. hico get a chance to centric cc 9. if it's a 100 percent for sure me. so i don't always believe in santa i ah ah ah, with who power games on the melting ice a reporter tracks
