is Santa Claus (aka Kris Kringle, father chrismas,etc) a person?

is a person only someone that we have proof once lived and died?(so do Adam and Eve (or other mythical/traditional 'first people") lose personhood?

We might not believe in Zeus, or Jupitor, or Jove or Mars, but at one point people did. they considered their gods real.

Now, if we discussed religion, we could discus did they consider their gods "people" (but we don't discuss religion, not even ancient ones) but, for the purposes of language, i think we can accept ancient gods as people!
