Hate to tell you Corai, but Santa doesn't exist. And anyway, Jesus was born in the fall, not the winter. Also, it's NOT a random name, Corai. And Mect, Jesus WAS humble, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't mind. To add to my point Jesus DID exist, you can't deny THAT. Even non-Christians have to admit he DID exist, just that he was mortal even though he wasn't. But the whole origin was this: (Religious Schooling Time) Mary and Joseph were two young people, and Gabriel the Angel told Mary that she was to give birth to the savior of the Earth, and then call him Emmanuel. Because he would to be to save us all. Joseph and Mary then set out for Bethlehem. Unfortunately, (well, not in the long run) Mary started to feel pain, and thus she was about to give birth. Joseph tried to find an inn or any other place for them to rest and for Mary to have the child. God wanted Jesus to be born in a manger, so God made all the inns be filled up. The two found a stable, and Mary gave birth to the Baby Jesus. After which, a few shepherds came to witness it, and then the Three Wise Men, who brought Myrrh, Frankincense, and Gold. There. Back to the Santa Claus thin, Corai, the parents by gifts for their OWN kids, not everyone else's. Face it Santa is just a metaphor for the innocence and goodness of the Christmas Spirit. Christmas is about Love. And God is Love.
