I guess you could say that, if you wanted to be very literal about it.

Santa Claus, also known as Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle and simply "Santa", is a mythical figure with legendary, historical and folkloric origins. The character has nothing to do with Christian faith or teachings.
