It seems so. Christmas has an imaginary deity that lives at the North Pole. Santa also has magical flying reindeer and worker elves. And Santa himself, possesses magical powers. There are a lot of psalms (odes of praise) dedicated to Santa. Children are taught to believe in Santa from birth. And everyone knows that Santa judges all. If you are good, you get a present. If you are bad, you get a lump of coal. Santa is known throughout the world. And has many many followers. Just look around. You will see his minions adorned in Santa hats and even decorate their homes in tribute to Santa. They even offer sacrifices of milk and cookies to Santa. So, is Christmas turning into a Religion?
