Santa comes from Saint Nicolas who put small presents in the shoes of kids in Russia. He's not from the bible, stop assuming that if it's not in the bible it's not Christian.
Christians can have different customs and such and it be not biblical. I mean having youth groups is not in the bible although there are many good youth groups that are Christian.
The Christians invented christmas as an easy way to convert the pegans to christianity because it coincided with their winter holiday. Plus, it's just a holiday as a representation of the birth of christ, not the actual day. If it was the actual day, it christmas would have been somtime in the spring/summer where the Romans had their census.
Read up on your theology kids, some of you know your stuff, some of you don't.
Christmas has been comercialised, no doubt, that's what it is now that doesn't mean it's not Christian.
That's all for now.
