Are Comics Anti-Christmas?

So I'm playing around with my new computer and while something was downloading or updating or installing or something, I went ahead and started decorating for the holidays (a very late start this year, what with everything else going on) and I decided a holiday-themed desktop wallpaper would be nice and festivy (I'm assuming you drop the e). So I go searching for one with a comic book theme and found absolutely none on the company sites, nor on any other wallpaper and desktop theme-oriented sites! And I really want to take a moment to chastise the companies for this.

Comic books are distinctly American, and while Christmas is worldwide, the image of Santa Claus was created by a famous cartoonist back in the 19^th-Century, then popularized by some guy named Sundblom when he used it for an ad campaign for some sugared American soda-water drink you might have heard of... Coca-something. In fact, the entire idea of Santa Claus as some sort of jolly elf came about when an American writer created this little story about a night before the festive holiday on which everyone was sleeping - even the mice! So it seems only appropriate - highly appropriate, even - that the comic books would celebrate this great holiday - aside from just flying a float in that parade they have up in The Grand Apple or whatever the kids are calling it these days.

Now, I'm not trying to get all Bill O'Reilly here, but the guy does have a point: why is it that we Americans are so willing to allow every other culture and nationality to publicly celebrate their holiday traditions, while completely ignoring our own? Like I've said a billion times before (and will go to my grave reiterating): this country was not "built by foreigners," it was stolen by them, and since that time, America has created its own, distinctly American, culture and traditions - a culture which socio-ethnic coalitions and personally-motivated demagogues have been working hard to erase over the past few decades.

There is nothing wrong with Christmas! In fact, it combines a bit of everything: it's based on pagan rituals and carries those trappings; Christians identify it with the birth of the Lord, Jesus Christ, who was Jewish; and a fat guy brings presents to children! See? Christmas even accepts the morbidly obese! What in the world is wrong with Christmas?!

But back to the matter at-hand:

I posted my problem over to the CBR Forums and a friendly native who speaks my language directed me to the right thread, where I found some great Christmassy wallpapers by some extremely talented artists. They also had a host of great Thanksgiving and Halloween-based wallpapers, to boot!

So, hi thee over there and grab yourself some festive images to decorate your computer! And celebrate Christmas, for goodness' sake!

My thanks to the great artists who contributed their works to this challenge. I was truly impressed by what y'all came up with and hope to see more of your works!
