The newspaper France - Soir reported that this execution was “decided upon with the agreement of the clergy, who had condemned Father Christmas as a usurper and heretic ” and had accused him of“ paganizing Christmas. ”
Ajalehes „France - Soir ” teatati, et hukkamisotsus„ langetati vaimulike nõusolekul, sest need mõistsid jõuluvana süüdi kui usurpaatori ja ketseri ” ning süüdistasid teda „kristlusesse paganluse toomises ”.
