Anyhow, Santa was human, and a part of the trinity

Did I miss something here? Who got left out, God, Jesus, or the holy ghost? Or, is Santa the fourth part, so it's kind of like a Quadrune god, or something? I'm confused.
And a secular christmas doesn't even necissarily have Santa in it, other than a reprisentational symbol, like uncle Sam here in the states. Nobody thinks he's real, he just represents something. I've had christmasses where we exchanged gifts, ate a good meal, and that was that- no caroling or sleigh rides or anything, just an excuse for people to have a day at home with the family, that's all. It'd be nice if we didn't need a holiday, but it helps make travel cheaper, and you need something to remind us of what matters in life. If you were Jesus, which would you prefer people did on your birthday- have a good time with their family, or sit in some stuffy community building with old people and bratty kids listening to a guy tell you the same stuff you hear every year, then watch a really bad play about your life that's been maligned for a few thousand years to fit the popular image?
