What I find interesting is the obvious difference. At some point in their lives everybody stops believing in Santa, typically fairly early on. The same can't be said of Jesus. The idea of presents delivered by a jolly red fat man who slithers down your chimney should seem too absurd to believe, but no more absurd than mumbling some Latin over crackers and wine so that you can eat of the flesh and drink of the blood of a man born of a virgin who died and came back to life. I wonder what it is that renders the notion of Santa harmless during childhood but fails to similarly innoculate against Jesus.
