Re: Newly registered Christmas Tartan
Your tartan registration also states "this tartan is introduced for Santa and his extended 'family' which is wonderful as it without a doubt brings lots of joy to your clan members. Your tartan celebrates the imaginary figure called Claus where we (the rest of the world) celebrate the real Jesus who`s birth we are actually celebrating during Christmas.
All we want to do is to tell the real story of Christmas!!!
Again I thank you most sincerely for your comments.

You could not be more wrong.
You say that we are based upon an imaginary figure OK I will have to get you that. However a true Santa Claus takes on the teachings of St. Nicholas of Myra. We as Santa's try to emulate his life and charitable deeds.
Trust me, we do know the meaning of the season! My group believes in and supports the St. Nicholas Center and the Santa Claus Oath Foundation.
So I find your statement offensive and your argument not very well though out.
As to the Scottish Register of Tartans not allowing you to register your tartan because it was to close to mine well all I can say is it seems to me that it has become more of a money maker than anything else.
As long as you pay a fee you may register a tartan and it is my understand that it doesn't even need to be woven. Where as with the Scottish Tartan Authority you would send them your tread count they would then tell you if and what needed to be changed. Then it still had to be woven before you could register any tartan.
Now if I am wrong about that I hope someone much smarter that me will set the record straight about the registrations of tartans.
Here is the link to the St. Nicholas Center for you to take a look at.

In addition here is the link to the Santa Claus Oath Foundation.
