“The Bible is full of fables.”
Your own words. I really don’t need to add anything.
If your OK with your version of Biblical “fables” then I guess it’s no wonder you have no problem with the “doctrine of santa”
Not sure what you refer to as a Bible, but here’s what mine says about “fables”
2 Peter 1:16
King James Version
16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
1 Timothy 1:4
King James Version
4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
1 Timothy 4:7
King James Version
7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
2 Timothy 4:4
King James Version
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
Titus 1:14
King James Version
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

Well, if you want to believe that Jonah was really in the belly of a ‘whale’ for days, that Noah fed all those animals for all those days, and all the other stories in the Bible, then go for it.
Some of us take the lessons; and Santa, as the tradition has come down to us, is a STORY, and a great lesson in kindness, generosity, and all sorts of values that Jesus taught.
But it might require that you got the stick out of your ....oh, never mind.
I agree; the Scriptures are not fables.
Now there is the errant theology of Job’s friends, but that’s another matter.
There is ONE Santa story I believe - and that’s only because it has Lee Majors in it. :)
