And CS Lewis made him useless Santa next to his lion Jesus allegory which you could have a lot of theological debates about but in the end is mostly just kinda funny also.

He also made him a buff/hot space traveler who fist fights the devil and wins (the protagonist of Out of the Silent Planet/Perelandra is based on Tolkien).

Much better, CS Lewis also made him the cool protagonist of his Cosmic Trilogy

Wait, Father Christmas in The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe was intended to be Tolkien?
