honestly the whole santa mythos kinda slaps from a theological perspective

like the fact that it’s overtly a fictional mythos intended to teach moral lessons, getting around the problems inherent in religious literalism. the way it takes concepts from christianity and just does whatever the fuck it wants with them. saint nicholas, a real person who lived in turkey in the late 200’s to early 300′s AD, now lives on the north pole, with elves (possibly an elf himself?????) and rides in a flying sleigh pulled by magic reindeer, one of whom has their own sub-plot. unironically love it. do this to all the saints. joan of arc lives in the center of the earth and rides a sasquatch.
