The Sacred Santa
by Dell deChant
The premise of this book is the lament you get every year, that Christmas is becoming less and less about Christ and more and more secular. Dell deChant says that, actually, the modern celebration of Christmas is profoundly religious – it’s just not a religion in the way that most of us are used to looking at one, or conceiving of a religion. It’s got its rituals, it’s got its god, and that god is Santa Claus.
