Is that Greenpeace Santa ???

Is he on a whaling ship?

 

[Diwundrin]

I think North Pole Greenpeace Santa is into nobbling Russian oil riggers, it's South Pole Santa who's tormenting whalers.
Life's complicated innit?

 

[SifuPhil]

Oh, that's way too complex for me. I need a Santa Grimoire!

Well according to Dial-The-Truth Minsteries. (sorry wrong number!)

Santa is really Satan, somebody along the way cleverly made an anagram out of his name and presto chango, Satan is now Santa.

Hmmm...the way some folks go so over-board this time of year and go further and further into debt, buying more crap they don't really need, maybe this is food for thought!

Hey now when I over eat or have too much Christmas cheer, I can proclaim "The Devil made me do it."

WOW! Somebody had entirely TOO much time on their hands with THAT article. I did less writing for my doctoral thesis.

That's what I thought too!
There was a serious amount of time and effort put into it.

You are not kidding! Now THAT is a ramble!

Personally I go with the simplest explanation. It's a variation on Saint. as in Santa Gertrudis or Santa Cruz, also a corruption of Saint Nicholas.
Sant nichlas to Sant na chlas to Sant aclaus. Try repeating Saint Nicholas really fast for a while and see how it comes out.

Duzzen madder anyway both Santa and Satan are figments of the imagination. He's writing a volume on the similarities of Superman and Batman next at a guess.

Oh, that'll be short - they have NOTHING in common! :wink:
