I dont think it does, I think that is a celtic myth that has been usurped by the christian church.

Neither Santa Claws or Santa Claus are in the Holy Bible but you might find it in some of these other bibles that man wrote. The Holy Bible is God's standard for mankind. Santa has nothing to do with God or his bible. It is pagan which was started back in A.D. 33-270 by the Roman Catholic Church/Roman Empire.

The bible does not mention Santa. The holidays are a time for family and love and remembering that Jesus was born into the world to save all of us. There is nothing wrong with having Santa, though, as long as you keep some balance to it. Children should know what Christmas is really about, but that it is also fun. It should not only be about the gifts.

You are right that Santa Claus is not christian,but are you a sun worshipper? That is the origin of christmas.The pagans celebrated to encourage the return of the sun god.So why celebrate it at all?
Jesus wasn't born on 25th December
The fir tree is a fertility symbol used in sex worship.
There were no 3 wise men praising Jesus.
The catholic church admitted that it made St Nicholas up,along with a lot of other Saints.
It is all about commercialism.

the satan part of the bible?...
no, ok - Santa arrives from the old legend myth thingy of Saint Nick who was a local man who use to make toys for young children and deliver them to the local poor village children on christmas day - he use to carve little wooden figures for the children to play with, a few which are actually in museum cellars being carefully looked after.

it is a central european legend, that the secular west has maintained.
He was a christian who gave out presents (as is the custom) at christmas. And the legend has grown.
The events recorded in the Bible happened well before.
it's not been 'appropriated' by the church, it is part of church history.

Santa Claus is Saint Nikolaus in a different language. He came long after Bible times. He was a German priest (who wore black) who did good deeds. The Germans celebrate Nikolaus Day on 6th December, where they open stocking presents like we do on Christmas Day. It was coca-cola who turned him red instead of black.

Santa Claus is in the bible as "Satan"and "idols with no substance". The concept is pagan not even the church promotes it.

Why would you go out and spend money on a holiday that you don't believe in .it makes no sense
