How many people really care that Christmas is about Jesus in today's society? Retailers use Santa as a way to sell things; more so to kids than adults. Parents use Santa as a way to say don't be naughty or you'll get coal. Plus he's kind of become a tradition. I consider it to be about Jeus however.

Business, nothing personal ( The Godfather )
By the way, Santa Clause has no relation with San Nicholas.
Santa Clause comes from the pagan god Thor, that traveled in a sledge pulled by two goats: gnasher and gnawer

Santa helps people make money. Malls wouldn't employ Santa if he didn't increase sales.
