Talk:Quetzalcoatl (Samba/Santa)/@comment-1348475-20190120150403/@comment-34041338-20190131222321

It's because in Mexico, for exactly one year, Quetz unironically replaced Santa in Mexico due to a nationalist movement. Ironically though, the reasons you've stated she would be santa is also the reason that people pushed for her to be so, since Santa was seen as a Christian but the Mexico government still wanted the Christmas season.
