Santa or God, you decide!

Does anyone know the relationship between religion and Santa Clause? I have an answer you may not have thought about. And, what about the Christmas tree? Just how does that fit with Christmas?

First, the true meaning behind the Christmas tree lies within the representation of the tree, bearing gifts Christmas morning. It is symbolic of Heaven, but not solely. In this case, the Tree to Heaven is relational whose reference points are above the gifts. Thus, the presents under the Tree. And, the presents represent all the gifts Jesus was to bring to this ball of a planet called Earth. Further, all things under Heaven. The Star is a representation of God atop the Heavens. Some like to put an angel there which is nice too, but that is a representation of of the angel sent to watch over the Earth as a whole.
Second, the fine Christmas tree is a representation of the Three wise men bearing Gifts. In this case, the Star atop the Tree is still God, but the motivation to give the gifts, with the angel referenced in this manner as well.
And, the third is the Manger to the Tree, whose bountiful treasure was found within it, and not under it. Did you realize that some presents are found on the tree and not under it. This is an example of Jesus in the manger to the gifts in the tree.
The forth and final representation is that Jesus is the Christmas Tree, bearing all those wonderful gifts, of God who is the Star atop the tree, or in the heart of Jesus.
Now, Santa or God? Haven't you often wondered what the relationship between Santa and religion is? I have to tell you, Santa is God or a representation of. The first man to dress up in a red suit, the first, jolly fat man was attempting example his vision of God as he thought God should be represented as God relates to Christmas. Santa bears the gifts of Christmas, to the Tree I might add. In much the same manner as God brought the gift of Jesus to the manger, the gift of light to Heaven and all things from it, what Jesus was to do here on earth. And, the motivation of the Three Wise Men with their gifts to Jesus on Christmas which were supposed to surround the manger in much the same way as the gifts under the tree do.
Now, I have to comment on anyone that claims they don't celebrate Christmas for the religious aspect of it. Your're wrong, because everything about Christmas is related to religion. Everything from putting up the tree to decorating for Christmas is symbolic in some way to God and Jesus, the Heavens. Did you know Christmas decorations are the representation of the Manger as it was decorated for Jesus? That's it in a nutshell. Preparing your house for Christmas is preparing for the Manger for Jesus.
