This year we letting Christmas fight amongst itself... AI Jesus vs AI Santa in the battle for Xmas supremacy (which we hoped could result in xmas imploding due to unresolvable conflict between these two titans of myth and drivers of worldwide economies.. but alas..)..3 hour show. (ho/ho/ho)also; did you know that when we started the war on xmas 19 years ago, the common usage of "war on christmas" primarily had to do with controversies over some folks saying "happy holidays" and keeping lawn displays/etc. very "holiday-neutral", while others wanted to "stick to their guns" and say "merry christmas" and keep everything very Jesus/Santa-focused.With the "AI_Santa" channel recently arriving on Twitch, along with the "ask_jesus", AI Jesus channel, it seemed a natural idea to let the AIs fight each other in some way.. Then, I was out for a cigarette break during the show, and asked the Google AI to tell me the current (2024) definition of "war on christmas", and it turned out the zone was trying from jump to tell the creaky old Janitor that times had indeed changed: AI GOOGLE: "In the "War on Christmas" debate, Jesus Christ would be seen as the central figure representing the religious core of the holiday, while Santa Claus would be considered a more secular symbol, often criticized for overshadowing the spiritual meaning of Christmas by focusing heavily on gift-giving and commercialism; therefore, some might argue that a "war on Christmas" is essentially an attempt to downplay the religious significance of Jesus' birth by promoting a more secularized version of the holiday represented by Santa Claus. Key points to consider: 
Focus on Jesus:
Many Christians believe that the "War on Christmas" is a deliberate attempt to remove references to Jesus Christ from public discourse, focusing instead on generic holiday cheer often associated with Santa Claus. 
Commercialization Concerns:
Critics argue that the overemphasis on Santa Claus and gift-giving can distract from the spiritual message of Christmas, which is centered around the birth of Jesus. 
Symbolic Representation:
While Santa Claus is seen as a joyful figure bringing presents, Jesus is viewed as a symbol of hope, love, and sacrifice."
