    I was referring to the Santa Claus that America gets it from. I'm well aware that other countries have their own versions based on their own beliefs.

    'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
    Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
    The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
    In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
    The children were nestled all snug in their beds;
    While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
    And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
    Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap,
    When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
    I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
    Away to the window I flew like a flash,
    Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
    The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,
    Gave a lustre of midday to objects below,
    When what to my wondering eyes did appear,
    But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein-deer,
    With a little old driver so lively and quick,
    I knew in a moment he must be St. Nick.
    More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
    And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:
    "Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now Prancer and Vixen!
    On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donner and Blitzen!
    To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
    Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"
    As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
    When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;
    So up to the housetop the coursers they flew
    With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too—
    And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
    The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
    As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
    Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
    He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
    And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
    A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
    And he looked like a pedler just opening his pack.
    His eyes—how they twinkled! his dimples, how merry!
    His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
    His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
    And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow;
    The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
    And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath;
    He had a broad face and a little round belly
    That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.
    He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
    And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
    A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
    Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
    He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
    And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
    And laying his finger aside of his nose,
    And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;
    He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
    And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
    But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight—
    “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”

    Coca Cola changed the "elf" to human sized
    God Bless :flagus:

    And God did too!
    Certainly not :flagcanada:
    Look where it was placed.

    Racism was not a concept in Ancient Rome.
    they didnt care if your a black or white person, but there was a stigma towards slaves & former slaves (vast majority where of european/midle eastern descent)

    Black people were not excluded from any profession, and there was usually no stigma or bias against mixed race relationships in Antiquity

    so it could have been a black person, but judging from where nicolas came from and the fact that there where not many black people in the empire at the time, hes more likely to be mediteranean/greek

    He posted it on social media, which made it public.

    If you ran a company and found that one of your employees had a photo on social media with an anti-Trump or pro-Biden button on his company shirt, might you fire that person?

    I'll agree with this.

    Keep your stupid politics out of it, and do your stupid job.

    Zero chance he would have been fired for rocking an Obama hat during his presidency.

    Get real.

    The OP has a habit of bringing forward the mundane and politicizing it. Ironic he calls others snowflakes :)

    if a baker is discriminating against customers based on race or gender, sure, they may get sued, don't do that, don't get sued

    PC *******s strike again. They just cost themselves 50% of their customers for something that would have gone away in a day by trying to score political points.

    And when the baker is found innocent at SCOTUS, sue him again.

    you realise that businesses expect you to obey their policies whether there are witnesses there or not

    Their right to fire him -- political views are not a protected class -- but still dumb as hell.
