Speaking of the origins of icons, I couldn't resist this.

Hmm........so that's why Santa has flying raindeer.  But what about the chimneys and the mistletoe?

Love it! A bit of shamanism and Terrence McKenna to explain the origin of Santa!

Great... I remember reading about this years ago. I have a deep connection to Reindeer, maybe cause of my Latvian and northern European heritage. Something deep in my bones resonates with the Sami and those northern myths.
