@ Mectrixctic:You got one thing wrong, Santa was named after St. Nicholas, who would give poor children gifts during Christmas, hence the name. Also you got many other facts wrong, it's says that Christmas was first celebrated as the Winter Solstice by many ancient cultures. But, Christianity transformed the holiday from Pagan to Christian. The first recorded celebration of Christmas was Dec.25, 336 AD. So, you should of added was first created not was. Now, people are getting Christmas way wrong, they are defacing the real meaning to the now, and starting to like very common secular meaning.
