Jesus is coming as King of kings to pass judgment on the world. Santa is a fantasy like Peter Pan and the tooth fairy that parents use to confuse their children with make-believe.

No.
The Santa Claus legend is based on a 4th century Bishop (Nicklaus) who was kind and helped rge needy.
His special day is Dec 6th.
Later Nicklaus was beatified and declared a saint.
As the legend was taken to other languages and lands; the name changed from Saint Nicklaus to Saint Klaus, and Santa Claus

That's a ridiculous question, but of course they are not the same person. Can you show me in the bible where it calls Jesus 'Santa Claus'?

No.
Saint Nicholas (Greek: ÎικÏλαοÏ, Nikolaos, "victory of the people") is the common name for Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, who had a reputation for secret gift-giving, but is now commonly identified with Santa Claus. Among Orthodox Christians, the historical Saint Nicholas is remembered and revered. Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of sailors, merchants, archers, children, and students in Greece, Russia, Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro. He is also the patron saint of Barranquilla (Colombia), Bari (Italy) Amsterdam (Netherlands), and of Beit Jala in the West Bank of Palestine.

CHRIST IS the Son of GOD, the sacrificial lamb that was sent by GOD to fulfill the prophecies and preached Love GOD with all your heart soul and mind, and Love your neighbor as you love yourself.
nickalaus was the person who went around giving little kids gifts.
You decide.
And better yet, you decide on whos day it should be.
Just like CHRIST once spoke long ago..forgive them, they know not what they do....it almost has the same meaning in todays time as well..accept the people do know, now.

St Nicholas would be aghast at this question. The Son of God and a mere bishop of the GREEK ORTHODOX church are hardly the same person!
Where did this idiotic idea about him being a pagan come from???

No. They're not even close. Santa Claus was, in part, based on the legend of St. Nicholas of Myra, a Christian bishop.
