Santa means saint(and crackpot whatever you imagine), and Klaus and Nick ARE THE NICKS FOR NICHOLAS. It is a hommage to Saint Nicholas, a very generous bishop. So, Laurian, are you trolling or you believe all this stupid propaganda.
And the red suit. Don't forget the red suit.

"Santa is an annagramme of Satan."
So what?
"Old Nick is a term used for Lucifer."
You know, the only referrence to Lucifer in the Bible is a referrence to the morning star.
"Claus is an old English name for hoofed claws."
So what?
"Clause is another name for Lucas ( lucifer)."
So what?
"HoHoHo is 666 eg.. H ijklmn O six letters between H and O."
Aside from the fact that the oldest manuscript pieces of Revelation show that the number of the beast is 616, so what?
"He comes in the darkness
Prince of the air ( on his sleigh)"
So what? Everyone who takes a "red-eye" flight does that.
"He has helpers .. elves ( fallen angels ) or demons."
Most of us grown-ups are aware that Santa Claus and his elves are fictional. Even so, there is no reason to believe that the elves in the Santa story are anything but helpful, little humanoids who get off making toys in the cold. Only a stupid nutjob would cast them as fallen angels or demons.
Frankly, Saint Nicholas enslaving demons and using them to make toys for the children of the world sounds kind of cool...
Sorry, got distracted. You utter dip, Laurian...
Saint Nicholas, Saint Nicholas, Saint Nicholas.
Just say it three times fast with a Dutch or German accent and you'll understand where "Santa Claus" came from. (Well, you won't, Laurian; you're too stupid to live without postit notes reminding you to breathe.)
Apparently people like this believe that Santa takes away from the purpose of Christmas which is the celebrating of the birth of Christ. They also believe that by lying about Santa it leads people to draw a parellel about the lies parents tell about their god. Since the idea fools their children and Satan is a trickster they take steps to try to connect the two.
In reality Santa is an attempt to sucker you into Christianity through tradition and happy moments. By the time you grow up and are capable of seeing the holiday for what it is all you remember are the presents and the laughing, the time with family and the decorations, the smell of warm cookies and the image of falling snow. You want your children to have those same feelings and you the average person doesn't bother to think they can have it outside of the Christian church. In general it works very well with the majority of the Western world being Christian. Those who they believe use it as an excuse to question the word of god are simply curious people who think outside of the box and would probably have come to that conclusion on their own.

oh, i don't even know where to START. "santa" means "saint," and "claus" is an old german spelling for "nicholas."
and that's all i can do without throwing up.
In the olden days, the folks told a story of an old bearded man who would ride through the winterscape upon his sled in the middle of the night, leaving presents for children who were good, and not so nice presents for children who weren't. To help their cause, the children would leave out small piles of hay for the creatures that pulled the sled.
So, aside from the lights, the tree/evergreens, the timing during the year, the gift-giving, Wassailing, the log, and the name "Yule", the Germanic pagans would also like you to return their god Odin, and stop calling him by the name of one of your saints.
Remember: 23.5 degree axial tilt is the reason for the season.
You see, I liken Santa more to Jesus. Both have a beard. Both love the children. Both advocated giving love and recieving rather than just recieving it. I really dislike how people will say, "Oh, Santa... Satan. Santa. Satan. SANTA IS SATAN!"
Frankensenth starts with an 'F', the SIXTH letter of the alphabet.
'Christ' has SIX letters in it.
'Joseph' has SIX letters in it.
ergo, jesus IS the devil!
Sha-ZAM! That's a doozy of a dilly of a pickle for us fundly-dundly christians!

"Well, isn't that speeecial?"
Hmmm... I know that kupfernickel is the word that "Nickel" comes from, and that it means "Devil's copper." So the Nick thing might have just a pinch of relevancy.
But has anyone else noticed a blatant ripoff of Saturday Night Live's Church Lady character? She said that Santa is Satan. She was a crazy-ass fundy.
Sayna: Regarding the Church Lady from SNL, bear in mind that the character's whole schtick is that of mocking things that Christians actually already say and do; I have heard variations of that Santa/Satan thing, in varying degrees of seriousness, for most of my life. And Poe's Law being what it is, you can bet that many fundies with a really loose grasp of reality take the whole issue dead seriously, some so much so that you half expect them to demand that a new crusade be sent to retake the North Pole!

"Santa is an annagramme of Satan."
Santa is Spanish (and possibly italian?) for "Saint". So every saint is satan?
"Old Nick is a term used for Lucifer."
No... it isn't. Is there an "Argumentum ad I pulled it out of my ass?"
"Claus is an old English name for hoofed claws."
See above. What the hell are "hoofed claws" anyway? Is that even possible?
"Clause is another name for Lucas ( lucifer)."
No... again, it isn't. Even if it were, I think saint Luke might take offense to that.
"HoHoHo is 666 eg.. H ijklmn O six letters between H and O."
*blink* So that's the sound logic makes when it snaps.
"He comes in the darkness
Prince of the air ( on his sleigh)"
He sure does:
I Thessalonians 5:4,9-10 "For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night."
Haha! Bible pwned.
"He has helpers .. elves ( fallen angels ) or demons."
You've met these elves? Yeah... I don't think so.
It's Old Scratch
Claus is from Nicholas
Anagrams prove nothin
That would be o - h * 100 + o - h * 10 + o - h
Who doesn't?
I thought Lucifer was prince of darkness, not air?
God has helpers too, and they're called angels, therefore God must be Satan.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
