Christmas is a Christian holiday that marks the birth of Jesus Christ.
Santa Claus is a nickname for "Saint Nicholas", so that makes him a Christian saint.
If his legendary generosity helps children remember and follow the selflessness in the story of Jesus, then he is a positive addition to Christmas.
If he replaces the Christmas story, then he takes away.
You decide.

Santa Claus is a Christian, albeit tenusous Christmas Custom. Japan is primarily a Buddhist nation with many sects and variants, some with a strong emphasis on Emperor Worship. Hirohito was considered to be a divine being, the Son of Heaven. ( the joke was his eyeglasses were explained away as ( spots on the sun) as there are such prominences- and they affect TV, radio, etc. For a while Sunspots was a sort of nouveau-chic term for eyeglasses, but passed out of usage. As Japan is primarily Buddhist- well there is no Santa-San so to speak. Back to the Nikon and Konica and other fine cameras.

What are the bad points of a Christmas stocking?
Well, if you were a naughty child, you could get coal in your stocking, which isn't fun and just plain messy. Also, if Santa Claus gave you chocolate and manderine oranges, and you only ate the chocolate, the oranges would be pretty gross after a couple of weeks hanging over the fireplace. Some people may argue that it takes away the true meaning of Christmas. Others might try to convince us that it just spoils the child.
