Santa and the nativity aren't real. Which is the more distressing?
A vicar out in England has been forced to apologize after telling 200 children at the Long Buckby school in Northamptonshire that Santa (pardon me, Anglophiles: Father Christmas) doesn't exist. But the article noting the horrible comment notes in a passing comment, "The vicar went on to say the Nativity was also a story, with no manger and no kings with presents." Apparently he wasn't forced to apologize for that comment. Merry Christmas, Father Scrooge.
