    Dresden Files books do something similar, only with magic/fairies/Old Gods instead of mutants. When it’s not Christmas, Santa’s just a bitter old demigod who participates in the Wild Hunt for fun and attends parties of the Unseelie/Winter Fae

      The figure of Santa originated from Odin. To make the figure a demi god it makes it a demotion.

          Legally they’re two separate entities, cause as Odin Mab would have to wait at his pleasure but as Kringle she outranks him.
