  • 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.

  • “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 (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.

These events center around the figure of the Krampus, a beast-like, punishing “devil” that accompanies St. Nicholas on December 5, the eve of his feast day. By 2010, groups of people in US cities were staging their own Krampusnacht processions in downtown areas, referencing the European enactments while simultaneously innovating their embodiments to meaningfully interact with the Christmas season in the United States. Participation in these events increases annually and the Krampus figure’s presence online and in popular media is on the rise.

  • Just a Normal Childhood
    THE FORMATIVE YEARS Just a normal childhood In post-war Germany Neuss celebrated 2000 years in 1984 Post war Germany Family Vom Samstag, 6. Januar bis zum Dienstag, 9. Januar 2018 ziehen die Ministranten und Kinder als Heilige Drei Könige von Haus zu Haus. Wir bringen den Menschen den Segen nach Hause. Kaspar Melchior Balthasar . Sternsingen Fastnacht und Fasching • 1. Alemannische Fastnacht Unsere Vorfahren, die alten Germanen, feierten im Frühling ein wildes Fest um die bösen Wintergeister zu vertreiben und somit die kalte Jahreszeit zu beenden. Sie setzten sich gruselige Masken auf und machten mit ihren Trommeln und Rasseln einen ohrenbetäubenden Lärm. Aus den Masken sind heute Kostüme aller Art geworden – meistens sind diese bunt und lustig. • 2. Fastenzeit im zwölften Jahrhundert Ein zweiter Ursprung geht bis ins zwölfte Jahrhundert zurück. Um den Glauben der Menschen zu stärken, hat der Papst eine jährliche Fastenzeit zwischen Aschermittwoch und Karsamstag verordnet. Die Menschen sollten mehr beten und dafür weniger essen. Besonders Fleisch war streng verboten. Dies erklärt auch die Bezeichnung Karneval. Der Begriff kommt aus dem Lateinischen und „Carne vale“ bedeutet in etwa „Fleisch, lebe wohl“. Vor der strengen Fastenzeit haben es sich die Menschen dann noch einmal richtig gut gehen lassen und ausgiebig gegessen und gefeiert. • 3. Das Saturnalienfest Im alten Rom wurde früher das „Saturnalienfest“ gefeiert, welches als weiterer Ursprung für unser heutiges Karnevalsfest steht. Für einen Tag waren die Herren und ihre Sklaven „gleichgestellt“. Es kam sogar vor, dass die vornehmen Herren ihre Sklaven bedient haben. Heute spiegelt sich diese Tradition in den „Büttenreden“ wieder. Das Volk erhebt das Wort und hält lustige Reden.

Children believe that Sinterklaas (St. Nicholas) brings them presents on December 6th, St. Nicholas day. Children put their shoes in front of the fireplace, together some for Sinterklaas like a drawing or biscuits; they might also leave a carrot for Sinterklaas’ horse and something for his assistant Zwarte Piet. Traditional foods that are left for Sinterklaas include tangerines, gingerbread, chocolate, and ‘mokjes’ (cookies made in the shapes of letters). Different regions of Belgium have different customs and traditions about St. Nicholas. The visit of Sinterklaas is a separate occasion than Christmas. Christmas is a more religious festival. Christmas in Belgium On Christmas Eve a special meal is eaten by most families. It starts with a drink (aperitif) and ‘nibbles’, followed by a starter course such as sea food, and then stuffed turkey.
