A quotation from Bill Watterson

   CALVIN: This whole Santa Claus thing just doesn’t make sense. Why all the secrecy? Why all the mystery? If the guy exists, why doesn’t he ever show himself and prove it? And if he doesn’t exist, what’s the meaning of all this?
   HOBBES: I dunno … isn’t this a religious holiday?
   CALVIN: Yeah, but actually, I’ve got the same questions about God.

Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist
Calvin and Hobbes (1987-12-21)

Originally a Pagan holiday for the Winter solstice actually - Natalis Solis Invicti, birthday of the all-conquering sun. The Romans appropriated it to try and get the pagans to convert (so they wouldn't have to give up their traditional celebrations. Same goes for Easter).
