Thor says : “Ho – Ho – Ho”!

 

Just Like the pagan god, Thor – Santa comes down thru the chimney into his element – “the fire”…. “Thor” also says : “Ho – Ho – Ho”  !!! Just Like the pagan god, Thor – Santa comes down thru the chimney into his element – “the fire”…. Even a child can see the similarities between Santa Claus and the pagan German god – “Thor”.    THE PAGAN GOD – “THOR” IS IDENTIFIED AS – ‘SANTA CLAUS’  “It should be noted though, that the figure of Santa Claus is really a non-Christian one and is based on the Germanic god Thor who rode on a chariot drawn by goats named Cracker and Gnasher.” – St. Nicholas’ Day; By Shonnie Scarola “Thor was the god of the peasants and the common people. He was represented as an eld­erly man, jovial and friendly, of heavy build, with a long white beard. His element was the fire, his color red. The rumble and roar of thunder were said to be caused by the rolling of his chariot, for he alone among the gods never rode on horse­back but drove in a chariot drawn by two white goats called Cracker and Gnasher. He was said to live in the ‘North­land’ where he had his palace among icebergs. The fireplace in every home was especially sa­cred to him, and he was said to come down through the chimney into his element, the fire.” – -Francis X. Weiser, Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs (New York: Harcourt, Brace and World, Inc., 1958)  “Thor was fighting the giants of ice and snow, and thus became the Yule-god. He was said to live in the “Northland” where he had his palace among icebergs. By our pagan forefathers he was considered as the cheerful and friendly god, never harming the humans but rather helping and protecting them. The fireplace in every home was especially sacred to him, and he was said to come down through the chimney into his element, the fire.” -(Guerber, H.A. Myths of Northern Lands. New York: American Book Company, 1895, p. 61) The unusual and common characteristics of Santa and Thor – are too close to ignore. An elderly man, jovial and friendly and of heavy build. With a long white beard. His element was the fire and his color red. Drove a chariot drawn by two white goats, named Cracker and Gnasher. He was the Yule-god. (Yule is Christmas time). He lived in the Northland (North Pole). He was considered the cheerful and friendly god. “Ho – Ho – Ho” He was benevolent to humans. The fireplace was especially sacred to him. He came down through the chimney into his element, the fire. Just Like the pagan god, Thor Santa comes down thru the chimney into his element – “the fire”…. “Swedish children wait eagerly for a gnome whose sleigh is drawn by the goats of the thunder god Thor. With his red suit and cap, and a bulging sack on his back, he looks much like the American Santa Claus.” -(Barth, Edna. Holly, Reindeer, and Colored Lights, The Story of the Christmas Symbols. New York: Clarion Books, 1971, p. 49)  Thor was probably history’s most celebrated and worshipped pagan god. His widespread influence is particularly obvious in the fifth day of the week, which is named after him – Thursday (a.k.a. Thor’s Day). “Behind the name Santa Claus actually stands the figure of the pagan Germanic god Thor. Here, then, is the true origin of our “Santa Claus.” -(Weiser, Francis X. Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs. New York: Harcourt, Brace & World, Inc., 1952, p. 113)  “It was Thor who in the last days of heathenism was regarded as the chief antagonist of Christ.” – (Davidson, H.R. Ellis. Scandinavian Mythology. New York: Peter Bedrick Books, 1982, p. 133)  In case you are not aware, an “antagonist” is an enemy, adversary or replacement.  The bizarre and mutual attributes of Thor and Santa are no accident. Santa’s Trademark is “Ho – Ho – Ho”  !!! Santa’s trademark “Ho! Ho! Ho!”. Most people have no idea where this came from, and more important whom it came from. . . “In these plays, the devil’s common entry line, known as the “devil’s bluster,” was “Ho! Ho! Ho!” (Siefker, Phyllis. Santa Claus, Last of the Wild Men: The Origins and Evolution of Saint Nicholas. Jefferson: McFarland & Company, Inc., 1997, p. 69) “Ho, ho, ho! the devil, the devil! A-comes, a-comes, a-comes upon me…” -(Dodsley, Robert. A Select Collection of Old English Plays, Vol. VI. The Project Gutenberg Ebook. Christmas is in Defiance of The Very First of the Ten Commandments  “I am Jehovah thy God….. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” (Exodus 20:2,3)(ASV)-BibleGateway  “You shall have no other gods before or besides Me.” (Exodus 20:3)(AMP)-BibleGateway “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” (Deuteronomy 5:7)(ASV)-BibleGateway “Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples that are round about you; for Jehovah thy God in the midst of thee is a jealous God; lest the anger of Jehovah thy God be kindled against thee, and he destroy thee from off the face of the earth.” (Deuteronomy 6:14,15)(ASV)-BibleGateway “Every commandment which I command thee this day shall ye take heed to do, that ye may live…And it shall be, if thou do at all forget Jehovah thy God, and go after other gods, and serve them…I testify against you this day that ye shall utterly perish.” (Deuteronomy 8:1,19)(Darby)-BibleGateway “Then My anger will be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them…. And I will surely hide My face in that day because of all the evil which they have done in turning to other gods.” (Deuteronomy 31:17,18)(AMP)-BibleGateway
