Here's the thing about "infinity."
There are an infinite number of possibilities between 1 and 2. 1.01, 1.001, 1.0001, etc etc. None of those infinite possibilities is 3.
True it would have to be physically grounded somehow. Maybe an obscure and uncharacteristically benevolent hyper rich fella sets up camp in the north pole.
I guess if we want Santa to exist historically it would take a religious level of interest and investment in ancient times. He would have to be reveared as a god and donated to. Then the organization can have the resources to get everyones Christmas list and send out presents on Christmas.
Santa did exist historically. Saint Nicolas was a bishop in what is now Turkey. Supposedly he helped a lot of poor children.
Also supposedly was brawling at the Council of Nicaea, smashing face of bishop Arius.
