Mr. Costanzo, I enjoyed your article very much. Having believed in Santa as a kid but raised in a Christian setting left confusion & questions not answered properly until the onset of the internet. The Christmas season is very special to me even more so after finding the facts behind the pagan holidays supporting it. We still struggle to advance the teachings of Jesus in relation to the Christian God faced with the fact that our bible was formed from so many different sources & cultures. I hope this article helps shines a light on future articles you may write. http://www.simpletoremember.com/vitals/Christmas_TheRealStory.htm

Matt, excellent and interesting article. Having grown up in a Christian church it was frowned upon to press issues that couldn't be answered simply because of indifference or mostly lack of proper knowledge. Having come to terms with my faith, as I became more educated I became more spiritual & less religious. My friendships with people more spiritual & educated also became much more interesting & rewarding. If you decide to write any related articles in the future I would like to offer this info: Todays religious programming simply takes the view of "God has a plan". Too simplistic any more for our evolving Christian minds that now refuse to live their lives on cruise control. Additionally, those seeking religious education now have unthinkable information at their fingertips. We have an encyclopedia of gods including a proper name and description of the very god we worship. My hope is that soon the name of our god will become mainstream and people will recognize & rationally discuss the "personalities" we give gods in order to relate to them. The Greeks & Romans (and others) did this in peace for many centuries.
