Amarillo’s ABC affiliate reports: The Grinch tried to steal Christmas. Dressed as The Grinch, David Grisham carried a sign during the morning drop-off at Sleepy Hollow Elementary in Amarillo, Texas that read “Santa is Fake. Jesus is Real.” Parents, as you might imagine, were not happy to see him. One dad grabbed the sign and …
Santa was at least based on Saint Nicholas of Myra in the 4th Century. We can’t confirm Jesus was based on one person or several.
A lot of what is accepted about Jesus is directly pulled from other mythologies.

Hercules was not born of a virgin. Anyone who knows the myth can tell you that.
