    Hi Mr. Beat, I'am a Christian in the largest Muslims country in the world (Indonesia). Since I was a kid, my parents never told me any scary stories to behave for Christmas, nor any fairy stories like Santa that will give you presents for Christmas.
    We just go to church in Christmas Eve and Christmas day. The unique (horror) part, if you go to any church in Indonesia during Christmas Eve and Christmas day, you will see so many polices standing and guarding the Church: at front gate, at side gate, at back gate, front door of church, even inside the church. (Those police just looking if there is any mysterious guest who enter the church, carrying backpack or wired vest, then hit trigger or button). Yeah, that's normal for us.
    After church our family will gather in our house, do prays together, then having good dinner, and shares a lot of cheerful moments during Holiday.
    Merry Christmas to all of you!
    Happy Holliday!
    God bless you and family. 🙏🏻

    my mom always thought that the "lead your child to believe something, and then reveal it was a lie and except them to be okay with it" aspect of Santa Claus was messed up. she didn't outright tell us that Santa wasn't real, but she did tell us that the "character" of Santa was based on "an ancient Greek bishop who was very nice and loved children". I was able to put two and two together pretty easily, but it took my sisters a little longer to figure it out

      The "ancient greek bishop" was Bishop Nicholas (St Nick) of Turkey, a Christian scholar that advocated for the Trinity interpretation of the Gospels vs Bishop Arias idea that Jesus was not divinity but a creation of God. Nicholas feast day is Dec 6 (or 5th) and that was the original child gifting commemoration by parents or town leaders.
      Part of the reformation was to eliminate the various saints feast days as saints were restored to just being historic patriarchs or historic legend. Many protestant groups kept only Christmas, Good Friday and Pasternis/Easter. So the feast days of Saint Nicholas, Saint Stephen and Christmas practices began to merge in Germany, Holland, Denmark, England/Scotland.
      Since by 1850 they had emerged as the most influential secular societies in the world, even surpassing Rome and Peking...the condensation stuck. Department stores and mass media cemented it.

      Colossians 2:8 "Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ." Christmas was a tradition started by man therefore, we as Christians, should not celebrate it because that is how it is written in scripture.

Later on, Rudolph’s story became a song written by Johnny Marks in 1949 and in 1964, the movie “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”, created by Rankin/Bass Productions was aired on TV.

It is traditional to give small gifts all through December using a pretend name (apelidos). Santa " Papai Noel " not baby Jesus leaves the presents for kids.

In Mythology the Krampus is a form of the devil, while the Perchts are spirits (Perchta was a godess once). These traditions are from the celtic time where tthe Winter was seen as brought by the Evil spirits who brought it. On the other hand Carneval is the day the Spirtis are drawn out so that Spring can come.

    I’m from Scotland and because of the Reformation, Christmas wasn’t a big thing here until after WWII. If I remember correctly, Christmas wasn’t even a public holiday until the 1960s. Our big celebration instead was New Year (Hogmanay as we call it), which is why we have a 2 day public holiday at New Year and why Scotland is still famous for our Hogmanay celebrations.

      Scotland was well known for being a stronghold of Reformed theology. Probably a cause of tension between England and Scotland as England believed in more Arminian theology. I am surprised it took that long for Christmas to take hold in Scotland though.

    I'm a Brazilian for 28 years and I can safely assure you guys that Baby Jesus does not deliver our Christmas gifts, it's Santa Claus. In fact, our Xmas celebrations are very much related to the US - some places even go as far as replicating the snowfall.

      Same in Argentina, my parents told me that when they grew up (in the 70s and 80s) Christmas gift giving wasn’t a thing, apparently the custom was to deliver presents on the three wise men day (known as reyes magos in Spanish), gift giving on Christmas is now common here mainly due to influence from media lol

    HAHAHAHA... Even though I am well aware of the Japanese's relatively new-ish tradition of buying KFC for a Christmas meal (also a holiday cake), I swear, I almost expected you to say that Colonel Sanders came and gave them presents... which really wouldn't be too great of a push if the marketing was done correctly. I think a "Colonel Sanders Clause" would be a welcome addition to the world. Bringing his presents of 11 herbs and spices for all the good children everywhere.
