  • WHO IS SANTA CLAUS? by George Lujack
    WHO IS SANTA CLAUS? By George Lujack Santa Claus is not a historical figure, but is actually a conjured up character who has been brought into existence through deceptive evil spirits. The Second Vatican Council formally stated that no Roman Catholic bishop by the name of Nicholas ever existed and Vatican II further admitted that the legends attributed to this ‘saint’ had no Christian origin and probably came from pagan origins. The Vatican, in the 1970’s, demoted Saint Nicholas as a major saint and characterized him as a mythological figure [1]. The name ‘Santa Claus,’ in English, is an anagram that when unscrambled reveals the true identity behind the obese man with white beard in a red suit. Santa = Satan; Claus = Lucas. Satan is the name of God’s adversary: the devil - the evil one. The meaning of the name ‘Santa’ in Latin is ‘Saint,’ and ‘holy.’ Lucas is an abbreviated form of Lucifer. Lucas in Latin means ‘bringer of light,’ and in Greek ‘light giving.’ Lucifer is a Latin derived name meaning ‘bringing light.’ Santa Claus unscrambled means ‘Satan Lucifer - holy saint, bringer of light.’ JOHN 8:12: Then Yeshua (Jesus) spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” 173 Santa Claus (Satan Lucifer) is an imposter of Yeshua Messiah (Jesus Christ). Santa Claus (Satan Lucifer) is NOT the light of the world. Santa (Satan) also goes by the name Saint Nick and Kris Kringle. Old Nick (saint Nick) is a name for the devil, Satan.

  • “White Christmas”—Bing Crosby (1942) Added to the National Registry: 2002 Essay by Cary O’Dell
    “White Christmas”—Bing Crosby (1942) Added to the National Registry: 2002 Essay by Cary O’Dell Crosby’s 1945 holiday album Original release label “Holiday Inn” movie poster With the possible exception of “Silent Night,” no other song is more identified with the holiday season than “White Christmas.” And no singer is more identified with it than its originator, Bing Crosby. And, perhaps, rightfully so. Surely no other Christmas tune has ever had the commercial or cultural impact as this song or sold as many copies--50 million by most estimates, making it the best-selling record in history. Irving Berlin wrote “White Christmas” in 1940. Legends differ as to where and how though. Some say he wrote it poolside at the Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix, Arizona, a reasonable theory considering the song’s wishing for wintery weather. Some though say that’s just a good story. Furthermore, some histories say Berlin knew from the beginning that the song was going to be a massive hit but another account says when he brought it to producer-director Mark Sandrich, Berlin unassumingly described it as only “an amusing little number.” Likewise, Bing Crosby himself is said to have found the song only merely adequate at first. Regardless, everyone agrees that it was in 1942, when Sandrich was readying a Christmas- themed motion picture “Holiday Inn,” that the song made its debut. The film starred Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby and it needed a holiday song to be sung by Crosby and his leading lady, Marjorie Reynolds (whose vocals were dubbed). Enter “White Christmas.” Though the film would not be seen for many months, millions of Americans got to hear it on Christmas night, 1941, when Crosby sang it alone on his top-rated radio show “The Kraft Music Hall.” On May 29, 1942, he recorded it during the sessions for the “Holiday Inn” album issued that year.

Arrive in Avignon early any morning (except Monday) to stroll through the outdoor market, then head over to the Pope’s Palace for the roses, giving yourself enough time to enjoy lunch in town afterward. View More Tours In Provence 13 Desserts Of Noel In Provence An age old tradition in the life of a Provençal family, are enjoyed after Gros Souper, which is equivalent to our Christmas dinner. The origin of the Thirteen Desserts seems to be part of the tradition of opulence in the Mediterranean regions. Combined with the religious element, this tradition gave the Christmas season its festive character well before gifts inundated households. The thirteen desserts are in reference to Jesus and his twelve apostles at the Last Supper. As tradition goes, there must be at least thirteen sweets available. They are all served at once, and each guest must have at least a small bite of each dessert. Upon returning from Mass, the table was set with three tablecloths representing the Holy Trinity, upon which the Thirteen Desserts were set. Based on the symbolism of the Last Supper, with Jesus surrounded by his Apostles, tradition forbids seating 13 people at the dinner table… but the rule doesn’t apply to food! Out of this Provençal tradition, we have ended up with a few mainstays and a thousand and one local adaptations.

  • The Boar's Head and Yule Log Festival
    The Boar’s Head and Yule Log Festival January 3 & 4, 2015 IN THE CITY OF CINCINNATI The Festival’s roots. Oxford University’s Queens College, The Boar’s Head Tradition Oxford, England. From Medieval Terrors to Modern Magic 1340 - 2015 The Boar’s Head Festival is probably the oldest continuing festival of the Christmas season. When it came to Cincinnati in 1940, it already had a 600-year history. The pageant’s roots go back to medieval times when wild boars were the most dangerous animals in European forests. They were a menace to humans and were hunted as public enemies. Like our Thanksgiving turkey, roasted boar was a staple of medieval banquet tables—symbolizing the triumph of man over ferocious beast. As Christian beliefs overtook pagan customs in Europe, the presentation of a boar’s head at Christmas time came to symbolize the triumph of the Christ Child over the evils of the world. The festival we know today originated at Queen’s College, Oxford, England, in 1340. Legend has it that a scholar was studying a book of Aristotle while walking through the forest on his way to Christmas Mass. Suddenly he was confronted by an angry boar. Having no other weapon, the quick-witted student rammed his metal-bound philosophy book down the throat of the charging animal and the boar choked to death. That night, the beast’s head, finely dressed and garnished, was carried in procession into the dining room accompanied by carolers. By 1607, a similar ceremony was being celebrated at St. John’s College, Cambridge.

  • “Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus” 1. Bertrand Russell: Russell Did Everything
    Louis deRosset { Fall 2011 Early Russell on Being or \Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus" 1. Bertrand Russell: Russell did everything. He was a philoso- pher, logician, mathematician, and public advocate for reform. He received the Nobel Prize for literature, and came up with the peace symbol. Russell is considered a founding figure in mathematical logic, and of what we call \analytic philosophy", the sort of philosophy done in most English-speaking universi- ties today. Despite his fame, Russell was constantly changing his mind. The piece you have read is from Russell's Principles of Math- ematics, (1903). The next thing we will read is an eloquent rebuttal of Russell, penned in 1919. The author of the rebuttal is Russell. 2. Being vs. existence: We have two different ways in English to say approximately the same thing: (1) There is no Santa Claus. (2) Santa Claus does not exist. One might think that (1) and (2) say more or less the same thing, or at least that they are equivalent: (1) is true if and only if (2) is true. But Russell thinks there are two ideas here: (a) Being: conveyed by \there is". (b) Existence: conveyed by \exists". He thinks (1) is false, but (2) is true. According to Russell, the correct answer to \Is there a Santa Claus?" is, \Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus." More generally, Russell thinks that: (i) Some things have being and exist. (e.g. Barack Obama); (ii) Some things have being and do not exist. (e.g. Santa Claus); (iii) There is no third category.

  • Santa Claus from Country to Country
    Santa Claus from Country to Country Lesson topic: Various ways Santa is portrayed in different countries Content Concepts: -Learn about various Santa Claus legends United States, Belgium, Brazil, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, New Zealand, Romania, Russia, Netherlands, Spain, Chile. -Social Studies, history, map skills -Reading (list of library books) -Math problems -Science projects -Craft projects -Writing practice -Gaming skills -Music (list of Christmas CD’s) Proficiency levels: Grades 4 - 6 Information, Materials, Resources: Social Studies, History, and Map skills United States: The modern portrayal of Santa Claus frequently depicts him listening to the Christmas wishes of young children. Santa Claus (also known as Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Santy or simply Santa) is a folklore figure in various cultures who distributes gifts to children, normally on Christmas Eve . Each name is a variation of Saint Nicholas , but refers to Santa Claus. In today's North American, European and worldwide celebration of Christmas, people young and old simply refer to the hero of the season as Santa , or Santa Claus. (Wikipedia) Conventionally, Santa Claus is portrayed as a kindly, round-bellied, merry, bespectacled white man in a red coat trimmed with white fur, with a long white beard . On Christmas Eve, he rides in his sleigh pulled by flying reindeer from house to house to give presents to children. To enter the house, Santa Claus comes down the chimney and exits through the fireplace . During the rest of the year he lives together with his wife Mrs. Claus and his elves manufacturing toys . Some modern depictions of Santa (often in advertising and popular entertainment) will show the elves and Santa's workshop as more of a processing and distribution facility, ordering and receiving the toys from various toy manufacturers from across the world.

For some, it is all about the baking, the shopping and the decorating. For others, it is a time to gather with friends and family members scattered near and far. For still others, it is a special time tinged with a bit of sadness and loneliness because of loved ones who are no longer present. For many it is all about family traditions. For most of us it is a little bit of all this and more. Hopefully the “more” is the recognition that Christmas is the remembrance and celebration of the birth of Je- sus of Nazareth. Hopefully the ‘more’ includes, not just mere sentimentality of days gone by, but the under- standing that the Christ needs to be born again and again in our world....in our lives. The celebration of Christmas, in its fullest sense, is the awareness that God continually yearns to be born in and through each and everyone of one of us. We are all called to be “mothers” of God as Meister Eckhart puts it, because what Jesus started over 2,000 years ago urgently needs to be continued today.
