Christmas is religion yes, but Santa doesn't really have anything to do with religion other than being on Christmas right?

Besides both being fairy tales, I would say it's even anti religious, since religious Christmas clashes with it, yet he doesn't bring gifts to baby Jesus. He brings commercial toys to all the other children.

Now I'm curious, you know those gift spots where you can drop them off at like grocery stores and stuff to give to families in need? I wonder if the majority of those are labelled as from Santa, or from the parents? It'd be interesting to do a little survey.

I would think that in that kind of "unstructured" gift donation that parents/guardians would be able to come in and pick appropriate gifts for their kids, along with some wrapping paper, then wrap and tag them themselves.

Right, that's probably what they do, but I'm wondering how they tag it after they select one. Apologies for the confusion
