This is a very interesting observation of how the holiday has been (De-Christianized) by Secular customs such as Santa Claus. Kris Kringle or Kringl (there are various spelolings of Chris as well, by the way that"s my prename) is believed to be a homonymic pun (in Germanic languages) of Krist Kindle- or the Christ Child which is realoly what Christmas is all about ab initio. they had seasonally Krist Kindle markts- Or Christ Child Markets or marts- which specialized in Holiday supplies , trees, cribs, and so on, maybe they needed a mascot, stl Nick already available- somehow Kris Kringle got to substitute for Christ-Kindle, and so it went! In a sesne Kris Kringle is mildly blasphemous olike (Judas Priest) or (Cheese and crackers- Got all muddy!) but it is not intended as a curse or swear word. this is an interesting etymology.
