Your 8 year old believes? I don't ever remember believing, but Kindergarten for sure.

It's the other way around. Intolerant Xians tend to go wacko over the more inclusive "Happy Holidays," forgetting that Hanukkah was around far before Jesus (who -- gasp! -- was Jewish), and you get folks like Megyn Kelly in her Fox News days claiming that both Santa and Jesus were white men, claiming there's a war on Christmas.

I predict people will really start losing their s*** when they find out about Santa's Husband, a book by a (married, heterosexual) couple of writers on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. It was inspired by the backlash when one of the writers, Daniel Kibblesmith @kibblesmith, jokingly tweeted that he and his wife "have decided our future child will only know about Black Santa. If they see a white one we'll say 'That's his husband.'"

The law of unintended consequences intervened. Instead of shutting Kibblesmith up, the couple responded to angry reactions by publishing a book.
