We appreciate
the parallel that Mr Brian Wilson has drawn between Santa and his reindeer and
the old solar gods with their teams of flying animals in this video of his:

Yet, in his
attempt to critique the silly modern notions of Santa Claus, he falls into a
trap not untypical of this age, what St Paul calls ‘zeal without knowledge’ (Romans
10:2).
For there is
a real 4th-century Saint named Nicholas, whose life is recounted here:

And who has
worked and continues to work miracles for those who call upon him in faith:

One of his
most remarkable miracles is the stream of fragrant myrrh that continues to flow from his body’s
relics, which now rest in Bari, Italy, and likewise from holy icons depicting
his image:

Let us adore
Christ, as Mr Wilson rightly suggests in his video, but let us likewise
remember that God is not a lonely God, as Fr Stephen Freeman has said, that God
is ‘wonderful in His Saints’ (Psalm 67/68:36)!
