Hi, As I am not a cristain. Could you please tell me story behind x-mas tree and santa clas. 🙂
And father Christmas aka Santa started with Saint Nicholas who was a generous gift giver with a day named after him in early December this day was one of giving gifts but the date was changed when the tradition moved through time over the last 50 years or so this has been exploited by companies to make money so used in advertising loads. This all became a part of popular culture more then a Christian tradition.
