Jesus is the son of God, as God is the Father to us all, and Santa is just that jolly man dressed in red and white that gives away gifts at Christmas

They say the same thing to children and adults. Be good and this will bring it's rewards. It speaks of a causal relationship we have with universe summed up as, As ye sow ,so shall ye reap. Or in science for every reaction there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Satan has a counterfeit for everything the Lord has and he tries to pass it off as truth every chance he gets. Paul tells us in Ephesians 6:11 to “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” We need to know if we have the real thing or a counterfeit. There is a holiday that is celebrated every year called Christmas that Satan has deceived us into believing that it’s the birthday of Jesus Christ. The Catholic Church not only gives us the mass of Christ but it supplied us with another counterfeit, Saint Nicolas (Santa). Look at all the ways this counterfeit is like the real thing, the Lord Jesus Christ.
1.Psalm 48:1-4 the city of the great King is in the North. Santa lives in the North.
2.John 4:24 God is a Spirit. We also have the spirit of Christmas.
3.Psalm 139:7-12 God is present everywhere. We tell our children that Santa is everywhere watching them.
4.Romans 11:33 God has all wisdom. Santa has all wisdom.
5.Isaiah 46:8-14 God knows all. Santa knows all.
6.Acts 1:9-11 Jesus returns in the clouds. Santa comes in the air.
7.Revelation 19:11-14 Christ returns on a white horse. Santa rides on a slay pulled by reindeer.
8.Revelation 19:13 Christ returns with a red and white outfit. Santa has a red and white outfit.
9.Luke 17:34 Christ comes at night. Santa comes at night.
10.Revelation 20:12 Christ keeps a record of all the works that are done. Santa keeps a record of all the good and bad you have done.
11.Revelation 11:10 there is a time when gifts are exchanged. Santa has a time when gifts are given.
12.Revelation 1:14 Christ has white hair. Santa has white hair.
13.Jeremiah 10:1-4 the heathen had a custom of cutting down a tree and decking it with silver and gold. Santa leaves our gifts under a tree that has been decorated.
14.Ephesians 2:8 Christ is a giver of gifts. Santa is a giver of gifts.
15.Hebrews 4:16 believers come boldly unto the throne of grace. Believers in Santa approach his throne and ask for what is wanted.
16.Ephesians 6:1-3 the Word commands children to obey their parents. Santa tells children to obey their parents.
17.Luke 12:40 the hour of His coming is a mystery. Santa coming is a mystery.
18.Mark 10:14 Christ tells the children to come to him. Santa tells the children to come to him.
19.Zechariah 2:6 the Lord says Ho; ho. Santa says Ho, ho, ho.
20.Mark 6:3 Jesus was a carpenter. Santa builds toys.
21.Revelation 19:6 Christ is all-powerful (omnipotent). Santa is all-powerful. He can deliver all the toys to the entire world in one night.
Do not be deceived by Satan’s devises. Satan has given us many ways to get to heaven: Do good works; be baptized, believe in God, be a member of a church, etc.
According to God’s word for this age there is only one way to heaven and that is to truly believe that Christ died for your sins, that he was buried and that he rose again the third day (I Corinthians 15:1-4).

No. Jesus is God and Santa is Santa.

Didn't your parents teach you anything? God Is the father, Jesus is the son(Savior), and Santa is a mythological being that our parents made up so that they can bribe us into being good.

I think Jesus and God are two parts of the holy trinity.
Santa is, something different, the spirit of Christmas.
The only similarity might be they're all ethereal?

absolutely not!
Santa is the embellishment of the very real St. Nicholas, who lived a very long time ago.
Jesus and God are timeless and, also as the Bible-believing Christians describe them.

Not quite.
Jesus is God Incarnate.
Santa is a representation of Saint Nicholas, who was a bishop of the Middle East that was known for his generosity.
