King Tutankhamun Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 I can see Santa feels the same way about you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Op Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Meh, that's only someone dressed in the traditional clothes of Santa. Everyone (who's not a little kid) knows Santa was a creation of the capitalist powers in order to aid their efforts to profit from the commercialization of the Christmas holiday.

Yiuel Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Worst of all, he's wrong They didn't create it, but deformed him into that character... (Santa Claus is way older, going back to at least 1000 years) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone (who's not a little kid) knows Santa was a creation of the capitalist powers in order to aid their efforts to profit from the commercialization of the Christmas holiday.←Based on Sinterklaas, which you can only find in The Netherlands and Belguim (at least I think) I think.

Klaas Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 And even in Belgium only a part knows or celebrates Sinterklaas. In West-Flanders for example they don't, they celebrate Sint Maarten (as originally in a large part of Flanders).Sinterklaas = Saint Nicolas, so it easily translates to Santaclaus. But Santaclaus is also based on a Germanic god (can't remember which one exactly).So we feast Sinterklaas first, and after it Santaclaus in the Christmas period. Sinterklaas is for the children. He has a book in which he writes which kid has been naughty or kind. The naughty kids get 'punished' by Sinterklaas' servant, Black Pete (Zwarte Piet in Dutch, someone with a black skin in 16th-century clothes). The good children get a present (well in reality they all get a present ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yiuel Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 In French, that annoying servant is called "Père Fouettard". But here, in Quebec, we lost the Père Fouettard tradition from the beginning. We only had the "Père Noël", and the punition was to have nothing on Christmas (or, it is said, a potato rather than an orange) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paal_101 Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Black Pete (Zwarte Piet in Dutch, someone with a black skin in 16th-century clothes). ←I have a funny story about Black Pete I had to fortune to attend a Dutch preschool in Canada (don't ask why I was there, ask my parents, I'm not Dutch BTW, had something to do with location I believe) when I was about 3 years old. At Christmas they had St. Klaas and Black Pete show up during the annual parent's dinner/talent show thingy. All of us were sitting on stage after doing some stupid songs and games for the assembled multitudes (it seemed like many hundreds, but was probably only about 150 people LOL). I got one look at this freaky "thing" coming at me that I ran off the stage to my parents. Unfortunately my dad was video-taping at the time and my humiliation is now preserved for posterity I did get back up there and had a few words from the big guy (can't remember what exactly, but mostly inane things we say to young kids) and then I got my gift (candy and maybe something else, I think) from Black Pete, who I discovered is a CROSS-DRESSER!!! LOL I was aware that they were just actors, but a 15 year-old girl in black paint and funny clothes is enough to freak out any 3 year old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Op Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Unfortunately my dad was video-taping at the time and my humiliation is now preserved for posterity Not really. All you have to do is find that tape and cast it into the Fires of Mt. Doom. Should a volcano not be within your general area, you may be able to mearly dispose of it in a trash can which your parents will likely not check until it's too late.

Black Op Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Maybe because he really is a fabrication created by European peoples. If he did indeed exist, he's bound to use ice-cold water from the North Pole for water ballon ammo, or so I project. Bottom-line, tis not worth it.
