FERRELL PLAYS SWEDISH SANTA
Funnyman WILL FERRELL staged his first Swedish Christmas last month (DEC05) and had to learn all about the country's SANTA CLAUS, so he could play him.
Ferrell played host to his wife VIVECA's Swedish family and decided to make them feel at home by dressing up as TOMTEN - the Scandinavian country's Father Christmas.
He explains, "He's kind of like a LORD OF THE RINGS version of Santa Claus; he wears a grey tunic and he drinks a lot.
"He calls the children up one by one and makes them perform little tasks... so I was making children do push-ups, fix my car, speak foreign languages, anything."

Sorry for the temporary hijacking.
All is well.
Will Ferrell rules.

I think the kid's best line would have to be, "A lot can happen - you can think."
Kind of reminds me my family, only with less yelling. I'm personally tired of being guilted into wanting stuff for Christmas. Christmas is the season... for guilt.

Same thing. It's all a scheme to up everyone's credit card debt so we can continue the illusion that money exists. That's why you need a magic wand to make real money.
Here, here... -Here's a piece of paper! Run along and kill someone over it.

Christmas is about Jesus? THE HELL IT IS!!!
We celebrated christmas looooooooooong before the catholic church arrived. Santa Clause isn't exactly a catholic saint. Dumb ass

Actually he was an Armenian bishop. Our ancestors didn't celebrate Christmas before Christianity arrived in north western Europe, we celebrated the advent of the Winter Solstice. Many of the pagan traditions were adopted when it was christianized. So you werer wrong on both accounts. At the time Saint Nicholas lived the Church hadn't splintered and we didn't celebrate Christmas long before the Catholic Church arrived.
No, I wasn't wrong. If your Santa Clause isn't the same as ours.. then tough luck. WE, and by we I mean Swedes, cellebrated christmas long before christianity arrived. Christmas is called Jul here and has no indication of christian influense. Neither has Santa Clause as you call him.. we call him Tomten. Again, no christian influnce. Our traditions lived on even after christianity arrived and the Church tried to ban them.
There was ofcourse a hell of an outcry and people were killed as a result but the church didn't stop there. They simply changed strategy and instead tried to incorporate Jul into christianity and turn it into a christian holliday celebration.
Christmas is clearly all about a golden apple, an anonymous gift to the prettiest. This was given in retribution for the Great Snub. Then Eris, in her solace, ate a hot dog, but no bun.

Hell, if it was my mother I wouldn't even bother to listen to her but I can imagine what happened.
She's trying to raise her kids the way she thinks is good. She probably uses the church and believe as the basic principles to live her life and then suddenly a rebellious teenager tells her that all she believes in is BS. I think I would go insane too if one of my children tells me the way I raised them was wrong.
Imagine that you are an atheist and your daughter turns 18 and says: Thank you mom and dad but I'm gonna join the Jehovas or better I'm going in a monastery. I don't know how I would react.
Why do you have to dictate how they think? Sure you can raise them on the values of Religion, but when they are older and can think for themselves, it (to me) would be a happy moment to see that my child can think for him/herself.
