When did Santa and Jesus become BFFs?

Our Royal Oak Superhero Mom recently asked the question in her latest blog post. She posted, "It has, over the past 10 years or so, become an issue for schools to celebrate Christmas or even mention Santa."

She continued in saying,  "BUT in doing so we have taken away what many of us celebrate.  I have heard the reason is because we don't want to offend those who don't celebrate Christmas...well I am offended!  Christmas is what I celebrate and I am not allowed to be proud about it and wish others to have a "Merry Christmas" because I might offend....really????"

What do you think?
