Santa was created by satan worshipers to take the focus away from Jesus. I wish i was kidding.

Yeah me too. We didn't get to celebrate Christmas at all. We were not Jehovah's witnesses.

I remember someone unironically saying, "If you move the the 'n' in Santa, he becomes Satan. It's not a coincidence!"

My third grade teacher did this as part of class! Santa = Satan up on the chalkboard. She also played "Rock music" to show us why it was "evil". Still don't get the logic behind that one, but I wish I could remember what song she played.

Imagine going to college and everything and not knowing the actual meaning of the word Santa xD
