Well, Christians contend that the focus on Santa Claus during Christmas is diverting the attention to Jesus Christ.
Christmas is supposed to be about Jesus, not Santa. Just saying.

Well that's complaining about commercialization. Not that Saint Nick is evil. They make the same complaints about Easter.

That's a different point than Santa Claus being "evil".
They just think that Santa Claus is less important, or even fictional, and thus that we should not be celebrating Christmas the way people in the West do where the focus is Santa, but rather make our focus on Jesus' birth.

Well, when you take the "n" out of Santa and put it on the end what do you get? ;P
Anyway, on a more serious note, the modern idea of Santa is pretty far from the actual Saint Nicholas.

Well, that's what Christians think. They believe Satan supported the existence of Santa Claus to divert attention away from the celebration of Jesus Christ, hence Santa sounding similar to Satan.
