It isn't the pastor's job to control or interfere in what other people's children believe or what other people tell their children or whether other people participate in the Santa Claus fantasy -- or for that matter, the Jesus fantasy.
That is what is bothering you. Just like a stopped clock is right twice a day, the pastor happens to be correct that Santa isn't real ... the problem isn't that he's right, nor does his being right make up for the problem ... which is that he's impertinent and controlling.

"Reality": "What's the matter with you people? Your sad, that people are mean? Well I'm sorry, the world isn't one big liberal arts college campus!!"
