"Thor" says : "Ho - Ho - Ho" !!!
"Thor" says : "Ho - Ho - Ho" !!!
Even a child can see the similarities between Santa Claus and the
pagan German god - "Thor".
THE PAGAN GOD - "THOR"
IS IDENTIFIED AS - 'SANTA CLAUS'
"It should be noted though, that the figure of
Santa Claus is really a non-Christian one
and is based on the Germanic god Thor
who rode on a chariot drawn by goats named
Cracker and Gnasher."
- St. Nicholas' Day; By Shonnie Scarola
"Thor was the god of the peasants
and the common people. He was represented
as an elderly man, jovial and friendly,
of heavy build, with a long white beard.
His element was the fire, his color red.
The rumble and roar of thunder were said
to be caused by the rolling of his chariot,
for he alone among the gods never rode on
horseback but drove in a chariot drawn by
two white goats called Cracker and Gnasher.
He was said to live in the 'Northland'
where he had his palace among icebergs.
The fireplace in every home was especially
sacred to him, and he was said to come down
through the chimney into his element, the fire."
- -Francis X. Weiser,
Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs
(New York: Harcourt, Brace and World, Inc., 1958)
"Thor was fighting the giants of ice and snow,
and thus became the Yule-god. He was said to live
in the "Northland" where he had his palace among
icebergs. By our pagan forefathers he was considered
as the cheerful and friendly god, never harming
the humans but rather helping and protecting them.
The fireplace in every home was especially sacred
to him, and he was said to come down through the
chimney into his element, the fire."
-(Guerber, H.A. Myths of Northern Lands.
New York: American Book Company, 1895, p. 61)

"Swedish children wait eagerly for
a gnome whose sleigh is drawn by
the goats of the thunder god Thor.
With his red suit and cap, and a bulging
sack on his back, he looks much like the
American Santa Claus."

The Story of the Christmas Symbols.
New York: Clarion Books, 1971, p. 49)
Thor was probably history’s most celebrated
and worshipped pagan god. His widespread
influence is particularly obvious in the
fifth day of the week, which is named after him
– Thursday (a.k.a. Thor’s Day).
"Behind the name Santa Claus actually stands
the figure of the pagan Germanic god Thor.
Here, then, is the true origin of our "Santa Claus."
-(Weiser, Francis X.
Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs.
New York: Harcourt, Brace & World, Inc.,
1952, p. 113)
"It was Thor who in the last days of heathenism
was regarded as the chief antagonist of Christ."
- (Davidson, H.R. Ellis. Scandinavian Mythology.
New York: Peter Bedrick Books, 1982, p. 133)
In case you are not aware, an "antagonist"
is an enemy, adversary or replacement.
The bizarre and mutual attributes of Thor and
Santa are no accident.
Santa's Trademark :
"Ho - Ho - Ho" !!!
Santa’s trademark "Ho! Ho! Ho!".
Most people have no idea where this came from,
and more important whom it came from. . .
"In these plays, the devil’s common entry line,
known as the "devil’s bluster," was "Ho! Ho! Ho!"

Christmas is in Defiance of
of the Ten Commandments
"I am Jehovah thy God.....
Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
"You shall have no other gods
before or besides Me."
"Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
"Ye shall not go after other gods,
of the gods of the peoples that are
round about you; for Jehovah thy God
in the midst of thee is a jealous God;
lest the anger of Jehovah thy God be
kindled against thee, and he destroy thee
from off the face of the earth."
"Every commandment which I command thee
this day shall ye take heed to do, that ye
may live...And it shall be, if thou do at
all forget Jehovah thy God, and go after
other gods, and serve them...I testify against
you this day that ye shall utterly perish."
"Then My anger will be kindled against them
in that day, and I will forsake them....
And I will surely hide My face in that day
because of all the evil which they have done
in turning to other gods."
