here's the deal, despite the heavy criticisms modern Santa gets for businesses exploiting the heck out of him Santa is meant to be the spirit of goodwill, he's not just about the Holidays.. he has many, many names and many different forms across a spectrum of cultures and he's not just about Christmas (but I'm not going to flood the thread on the entire history of Santa-esque figures).

basically he's meant to exist wherever and whenever people share the values of sharing and celebrating etc etc.. so someone who wants to kill off Santa wants to kill off the very spirit of happiness and charity in the world.. that should give you a clue as to why it goes beyond standard villainy (and is often down played as not everyone appreciates just how severe the implications are.. you're not just trying to kill off a beloved children's icon, you're trying to kill off something much bigger (whose purpose has kind of been warped over time but that's another tale altogether).).
