There is evidence for those who can see it...
-Eucharistic Miracles (i.e. churchpop.com/2015/06/28/5-extraordinary-eucharistic-miracles-with-pictures/ etc)
-Our Lady of Gaudalupe image from the year 1531 (i.e. youtu.be/Ds7nD_QNeKA )
-St. Pio (1887-1968)
etc etc

-Our Lady of Las Lajas image on a rock from the year 1754 ("Geologists have since bored core samples from several places in the rock and discovered that there is no paint, dye, or pigment on the surface of the rock. The colors of the mysterious image are the colors of the rock itself and extend several feet deep inside the rock! The only man-made aspects of the miraculous image are the crowns above the heads of Jesus and Mary that were later added by local devotees." ; catholicexchange.com/miraculous-image-lady-las-lajas )
-Fatima (The Miracle of the Sun from Oct 13th 1917 which is viewed by tens of thousands of people)
-St. Pio (1887-1968)
etc etc
so comparing santa etc to Jesus Christ is a bit of a stretch 
but like I always say, some people won't believe no matter what as it's kind of like this quote from the bible...
"Then Abraham said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’" - Luke 16:31
which is basically another way of saying my usual St. Thomas Aquinas quote.

For instance there are a billion or so muslims in this world. Most of them believe in islam on faith. If mslo79 told them that islam was clearly false and their reasons for believing it were wrong, and they said "Well I have faith. And to one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible," would mslo79 accept this as a valid defence of islam? I suspect not.
"Islam is inseparable from Muhammad. If Muhammad was a false prophet who presented a false picture of Jesus, then Islam, despite whatever truths it contains, is a false religion."
