Your 1st and 2nd point had been answered by me in the earlier post. Though possibly my answer is meaningless to you. 3rd: Did Jesus say that you do not need to work on Xmas? I thought it was said by the Government when they declared it a public holiday. 4th: Santa Claus goes around giving presents. The problem is that no one has seen Santa Claus other than Tim Allen. 5th: Easter Bunny goes around collecting easter eggs? Have not encountered that, possibly because of the number of cats in the neighbourhood. 6th: God (useless bum) - sometimes I feel that way too when I see so much injustice. However when I think of the finality of His Judgment, I am glad He preferred to be misunderstood as a useless bum rather than be understood as the God of Justice.
