Long before that. The norse were coverting, so the Catholics did as always and made their idols saints. They took some random saint Nicholas who wanted to kill Jews all the time, and changed the hammer on Th*r's back to a bag of presents, made him a nice guy and stopped human sacrifice to him, and you have santy claus. The Nazis played around with it a bit and then Hitler YS"V said that going back to Wood*n worship was dumb, so they stopped.
