We don't want to be a bah humbug and want our children to experience as much joy as possible at Christmas. But their is a hidden danger in what appears on the surface as an innocent tale. Santa, turn a few letters around and you get Satan.

Turn 'lived' backwards and it's 'devil', rearrange 'ice flue' and you get 'lucifer', turn 'believe' into 'bee evil' I can play word games all day, but It's merely a fun excersise, it don't mean jack shit.
Good thing I never believed in Santa Clause (or, in Swedish, "jultomten"), then. Christmas was a joyous thing without fairy tales.
Or rather, with a sort of modern Robin Hood fairy tale on TV in the evening.
In Swedish the phrase "you speak Latin well" is a palindrome. What does that mean, oh all-knowing one?
"Santa, turn a few letters around and you get Satan."
Actually, that's just dyslexic Devil worshippers. In the same way dyslexic Christians believe in Dog. But for you & your fundie ilk, there's something infinitely more dangerous about believing in the existence of Santa Claus.
When you stop believing.
Santa Claus is in part based on an actual historical figure -- Saint Nicolas was an actual person. He lived in Turkey in the 270-346 AD. I'd ask if you honestly thought that a figure based partially on a Christian saint is really demonic -- then again, you might be one of those Christians who think all Catholics are evil and the Catholic Church is working for the devil.
Forwards, backwards, or upside down. Any which way one looks at it, fuck, you people are stupid.
Congratulations! You're the 5,342,132nd person to notice this glaringly obvious fact!
However, you are only the fifth to actually put any significance in it whatsoever.
If Santa is Satan, that explains why Christian fundy parents love to teach their kids about Santa/Satan, and how the children should look forward to Santa/Satan's coming and bringing gifts for making Santa/Satan happy.
It also explains where Santa/Satan gets the charcoal.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
