Didn't a lot of Santa Claus mythology come from Odin?

Some of my favourite pieces of Christmas media are the ones that are straight up Evangelical propaganda, but they don't want to appear as such, so they copy and paste Santa Claus into Jesus' place.

you are pitting Jesus and Santa Claus against each other.

It's be-gein-ing to look a lot like Christmas~ That's right folks, it's that time of the year again! With Christmas right around the corner, we're going to be decking our halls with holiday deals and yuletide discounts that would make ol' Saint Nick himself blush! And speaking of "making ol' Saint Nick",

Listen man, I don't blame Pandora. After holding an oogie boogie mask as a trick or treating bag my arms hurt and I too wondered what on earth was in the head jar whatever.

The 10th Annual 2023 Cosmic Horror Holiday Gift Guide

Greetings, fellow seekers of the arcane, the anomalous, and peculiar; we stand at the threshold of a festive season of celebration, congregation, and camaraderie. But to get there, we must pass through this most ominous of occasions, the bleakest of breaks. Once more, we are ensnared in a carnival of capitalist debauchery.
