This could be a good, in-season topic to debate about. I'll start with a very good point a certain famous prosecutor mentioned about him.

To quote said prosecutor: "If Santa was real, he'd be the biggest unlawful trespasser in history!"
I'd like to see all your thoughts on this as well.

Loosely based off a real person (saint klaus I think?), with the original intention being to advocate for kindness.

Since then, it has been blown out of proportion as a festive thing to promote gift giving, which in turn strongly influences people to buy gifts, which in turn drives the economy with large amounts of holiday spending.
(not that it's a bad thing.)
