I think you may have been misled here. Santa Claus is a fictitiou
s
character introduced to gullible and trusting children by their parents. No child is born with a belief in Santa.
Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit on the other hand are evidenced around us on a daily basis and in all aspects of our lives and the Love of Jesus is imbued in them at conception.
To continue to believe in Santa after, say, the age of 5 is a little naive. The presents he brings are "of this World" and can be seen in the stores and catalogs around you. The Gifts of God are spiritual and eternal and are not for sale (although generous tithing is expected.)
Yes, Santa Clauses are seen but those are the equivalent of False Prophets - mere deceivers clothed mentally and physically in the robes of office to lead the young into sins of the flesh and envy. God is not seen because His Glory is overwhelming and this proves He is as He says He is in the Bible.
“We must reassert that the essence of Christianity is the love of obedience to God’s Laws and that how that complete obedience is used or implemented does not concern us.”
