Santa is anti Christmas?

I know Christmas is over, but I've been having this nagging thought. See I was listening to a song about how you had better be good because Santa has a list and naughty people go on the list and don't get a gift. However, Christ came for the sinner (or the naughty) not the righteous. We are all sinners, so you could say we are all on the naughty list, but no amount of being good will get us off. The only way to get off the naughty list and on the good list (listed in the book of life) is to put our faith in Christ and his work on the cross, the real gift of Christmas. So it seems that Santa got it backwards from Christ, the One who's birthday we are observing. This is just one more reason we should look to the Bible which tells the story of the Christ of Christmas rather than to the media who just doesn't get it.
