Well...I'm more bothered that people are still pushing the Santa thing in the first place. No, kids, there is no Santa, Tooth Fairy, or other stuff. If you are among the fortunate who gets gifts and stuff, you need to know those gifts and stuff come from hard working people (if they aren't stolen) who thought enough of you to be generous.
I thank God my family hasn't exchanged gifts in a generation. Grown folks get their own stuff. The holidays are to get together to laugh and have fun.
As for Jesus, a Jewish teacher from Galilee in Israel back then was most likely of the same ethnicity and racial identification as the majority of people there today and that is typically not of the immediate African diaspora. Jesus was probably not blonde and blue eyed but he was more likely of the white diaspora or perhaps of the Asian diaspora which includes a range of ethnicities, cultures, languages, and physical traits. I still hug Black baby Jesus, though.
