Did someone tell you that it was?

[sandmullet]

No.

[commoneresque]

That's surprising.

[sandmullet]

Most had the opposite sentiment.

[commoneresque]

A relief. There seemed to be a fair amount of negativity about it floating around the network--that's why I asked, anyway.

[sandmullet]

Yeah. But some people claim to have met him.

The idea doesn't exist in my world.

[commoneresque]

It's possible, from what I've seen here alone.

I don't think the "reality" of the person, Father Christmas, exists in our world either, but the celebration does.

[sandmullet]

Exactly.

It's weird to designate a time of year for that "spirit".

[commoneresque]

It was originally a much more religious thing, and the date is connected to that concentration, even if these days it's more about gifts and spending time with people that you love like.

[sandmullet]

Like "Saint" Nicolas?

Who told you---

[commoneresque]

Not exactly.

[sandmullet]

Then what?

[commoneresque]

Family and friends.
