I mean, a guy sneaking into your house at night and leaving you “presents” under a tree you’ve cut down and brought into your house for no other reason has to be up there too, right?
And don’t get me started on how fucked up Thanksgiving is.
Not to mention that Santa is a prolific home-wrecker, as millions of children have witnessed him making out with one of their parents' partners.
Probably the weirdest thing to me about Thanksgiving is that it wasn't even remotely real in the sense of being founded on a historically coherent event. Perhaps this is just the nature of mythology. Thanksgiving was a religious fasting ritual at the time. Sharing a meal with indigenous people was a coincidence during a harvest festival, which isn't exclusive to any one religion or even spirituality at all. It's two, entirely unrelated things that got crammed into a single tradition because they occur roughly during the same season. Also, there was a lot of ethnic cleansing before and after, but that doesn't go well with primary school history class, so let's leave that bit out.
