Quotes:

Dean Winchester: What are we looking for again?
Sam Winchester: Um, lore says that the Anti-Claus will walk with a limp and smell like sweets.
Dean Winchester: Great, so we're looking for a pimp Santa. Why the sweets?
Sam Winchester: Think about it, Dean. If you smell like candy, the kids will come closer, you know?
Dean Winchester: That's creepy.

Try some facts

In regards to Paganism, I think that some of you who profess to be Pagans need to do some reading up on the religion you claim to be a part of. There is tons of literature of the subject of human sacrifice & Paganism: to appease the ancient gods of nature, etc. to insure good crops, good health, prosperity of the community & the like. I do agree that this episode was a bit over the top, but it is only a TV show & it was very fun to watch! I do not believe that Paganism is in any way related to Satanism; I myself have a deep belief in Earth religion. But it is in no way innocent, no religion is. Even Christianity has human sacrifice in its past. Anyone who's read the Bible knows that. Well, time to get off my soap box.

I will continue to watch Supernatural as long as its on because the cast is great, the stories are interesting & I think that the writers do a relatively decent job on the research end. Its a nice reprieve from all the reality shows & "real-life" dramas. Give me fantasy any day!!!
