Nativity with Santa and Rudolph

In 2009, Marion Davis of Randallstown, Maryland got a design patent for this "Nativity scene decoration including Santa Claus and Rudolph".

But why stop with Santa and Rudolph? She could have added Frosty the Snowman and the Coca-Cola polar bears for even more holiday cheer.

For followers of Jesus Christ, who believe that the Santa Claus character is based on the real life person Nicholas of Myra, Santa kneeling in homage to Christ is really not that weird.

Saint Nicholas, no... but that commercialised version of Santa should be praying to the mammon. (Yes, I am slightly unreasonably inimical against the commercialisation of Christmas as opposed to Saint Nicholas' Day. But only slightly.)
