the fact that the comparison is being made is a problem...
Santa is the diety of our making and control. Good and bad are simple, material rewards are what we think we need. It is a perfectly sanitized story, where nothing ever goes wrong.
God didn't show up with fireworks and toys. God showed up as a helpless child without a home. The first thing that someone gave the family was spices to bury him with.
doesn't sound much like santa to me.
