You can't prove Santa doesn't exist! On December 24th I left cookies and milk by the tree, and when I woke up the next day the cookies and milk were gone and there was presents under the tree. You can't explain that. Thus, Santa is real!
Alternatively, we could send an expeditionary group to the North Pole to find Santa's Workshop. Failing to do so, we might conclude that this (and other similar shortcomings) renders the Santa story untenable.
