Christmas....Jesus Christ?..Santa claus?

Hey guys.....some of the people might be wondering...
Christmas is suppose to be in commemorate on Jesus Birthday right?...
But.....why is everyone (that means your outside friends) have like made Santa the icon for Christmas.....?

i was boring (after playing facebook and pet society) and i sort of came across this...

SANTA was a person called St. Nicholas

“There was a Christian name St. Nicholas, that is where the Saint part comes from. He was so happy because God gave to him a gift, Jesus, who died for our us so we could have eternal life with God. St. Nicholas became so happy with God's love it became a mission for him to tell everyone he could. St. Nicholas was a very rich person but saw that his happiness was not in money and riches but in God's love. St. Nicholas shared his wealth by bringing food and toys to children that were poor."

But the sad thing is....

In the times of St. Nicholas, there were many people that hated Jesus or God and made a point of it by arresting these Christian people and put them in jail. Eventually St. Nicholas was arrested and was put in jail to stop him from talking about Jesus. This did not stop St. Nicholas and he continued to talk about Jesus even in jail. Eventually these men that jailed St. Nicholas had him killed.

Now because of 's ultimate act of wholeheartedly loving God and fervently loving people
that made his name exist in people heart, even in the non-believers....

so...we must be like St. Nicholas....To be the salt and light of the world...
