Basis for the dutch Sinterklaas also known as saint Nicholas as well.

Brings toys and candy for the young ones on the eve of the 6th of december.

Santa claus is the same but has more association with the birth of jesus.

If the meat were not cured already, resurrection would have been much more difficult.

That's what's wrong with our society today: No more WHOLESOME family holiday entertainment.

I’m made to think of DEATH in The Hogfather, when he gives life back to the little girl, rather than allowing her to die alone on the stairs in the snow. Because that - giving hope for life - is the true meaning of [the holiday]

All Jesus did was make a bunch of fish and wine, yelled at a tree and brought 1dude back to life.

Resurrected three children, in other words he released three from his own basement stash.

Butcher, did you turn these kids into sausages?

No, they were already brats.

Yeah, he's one of the historical/legendary personas that blended together into the modern, Western concept of Santa Claus.

Other contributions include the English Father Christmas (originally a separate folk personification of Christmas/midwinter festivities, now melded into a synonym of Santa Claus) and possibly even Odin, who appeared in many ancient midwinter tales, connected to Wild Hunt legends, in which he soared through the night sky pulled by his eight-legged horse Sleipnir, as well as packs or herds of flying animals, and spirits or fey creatures (think: elves), and was known as a gift-bringer.

"The Pickled Boys" is a piece in Benjamin Britten's oratorio "Saint Nicholas" The entire work is actually not that good.

The original basis for Santa is Odin and/or the Holly King, some random catholic with a penchant for little boys is hardly the basis for Santa.

Huh, I've heard Epstein personally named Musk to be his successor.

Many people are saying this is definitely true and Elon Musk is an unrepentant child rapist.

Not me of course, but it is concerning how often it comes up, like when I just wrote it up above.

Resurrection assumes the process of death has taken place, CPR cannot undo this process, it can only prevent the process from continuing past the point of no return.
