Ho Ho Holy Night?

In an effort to get into the holiday spirit, I was listening to one of the (multiple) all-Christmas-music stations. And I find the lyrics to "Here Comes Santa Claus" to be conflicting. The whole song is about Santa coming down Santa Claus lane with his reindeer, right? But then at the end it goes "let's give thanks to the Lord above that Santa Claus comes tonight." Seems a bit weird to combine the Lord and Santa, since what does one have to do with the other? Like were they trying to make it more of a religious carol? Because #fail if so. IMHO, keep Santa with Santa and keep Jesus with Jesus. #separationofchurchandstate
