The war on Christmas continues with a twist...

German Catholics want to ban Santa Claus. With all that phony "War on Christmas" hype Fox News loves to promote, I garuantee they won't touch this one. It's not those nasty "atheist secular-progressives" coming after us moral peace loving "religious folk"

What! Ban the retail holiday invented solely to get year end inventory off the shelf?

Seems like they want to use St. Nicholas instead of Santa Claus (which I thought was an "alias" for St. Nick anyway):

"Unlike Santa Claus, Nicolas wants to give children inner riches and not just encourage them to strive for material wealth,"

My wife and son have celebrated Nikolaus Day every year since we moved to the states, and when we lived in Germany I don't remember seeing hardly anything about Santa Claus, except on the base. Non-story is non-story.
