Original Santa/Father Christmas is based more on Odin than on that Christian Saint Nick.

Santa does not exist. Or maybe I should say it does, in case you're still young kid who believes in it :P

There should be Day of Odin for you Scandinavians. Just because Mericans do it, doesn't mean you have to follow. Truth to be told, you're as much Christians as they are.
Of course Santa exist, who else come and visit me every year? :O

Actually we call it Jul here and it comes from an religious festival called Yule.

From Wikipedia "Scholars have connected the celebration to the Wild Hunt, the god Odin and the pagan Anglo-Saxon Modranicht."

He said 24 hours until Christmas, referring to the fact that the proper date to celebrate Christmas on is the 25th, apparently Scandinavians do it a day early, retards. The night of the 24th is Christmas Eve which means that it is the eve before Christmas, much like New Years Eve means the eve before the New Year,

Hey retard, one reason celebrations occur on Christmas Eve is that the traditional Christian liturgical day starts at sunset - another is that Roman Catholics and Anglicans traditionally celebrate Midnight Mass, which begins either at or sometime before midnight on Christmas Eve. This ceremony, which is held in churches throughout the world, celebrates the birth of Christ, which is believed to have occurred at night.

Do you also celebrate the new year on the first day of the new year, or do you start the festivities on the night before so you can be there when it kicks in? If you are, well sorry to break this to you, you are missing the party.

Dont get me wrong - I couldnt care less when people celebrate christmas but since all the guy did was to write "merry christmas" - feel free to wish him the same and try to

That's why you have a list of sources at the bottom. You can also check every edit in the article. Not sure if serious?

Anyway, the heathen origins of the Scandi 'Jul' is well-documented and is pretty evident in the traditional rituals, still. Not only did the Christians built their churches on the holy grounds, they also assimilated the holy days (but with less luck).


Glædelig Jul.
