HOW the DUTCH. SAVED CHRISTmas? (Not fact-checked by me):"The real story behind Santa Claus"
Article may be prejudiced against Protestant Reformation,but favorable towards Dutch.They blame the lack of Christmas for some time on "protestant reformed" type preachers...that needs some fact-checking & context (question should be asked whether in some cases the way Christmas is celebrated sometimes is less about Jesus & more about other things ; but I personally agree that we need to celebrate the birth of Jesus but itdoesnt have to be so commercialized,nor even on a specific day every year But there's no stopping it now....its been institutionalized.Did we lose something in the process?
