I don't care if the idiots on the SCOTUS think Santa is secular. Christmas is a Christian holiday, Santa means "saint" and Santa is the Orthodox/Catholic saint, Saint Nicholas.

Because of my own childhood memories, I love Santa, but not being promoted as real by the United States government or as associated with the United States government, esp the military.
