The origin of Santa Claus is a long story. Ultimately, though, it got its start as a Christian saint and got moved to the timing of Christmas to keep interest up among children. Plus Santa is a wholesome fellow and good influence on behavior. So I would say he is completely compatible with Christianity. That doesn't mean the birth of Jesus should be swept under the rug and forgotten, just that Santa has value in sharing the celebration date with Jesus. Side: Compatible

Santa is all mainly about the celebration. Songs, gifts etc but has nothing to do with the person(the reason for the celebration). I don't even think christ would have entertained that white beared guy on his birthday. There is nothing about santa in the bible. Christians have a reason to celebrate christ's birth but have no reason to believe in santa. It has zero network with actual christianiy.... Infact i never read christ celebrated his own birthday or by his disciple even after his departure. Side: Not
