Mmm I depends. I'm the last of the GenX (1980) My siblings are 1977 (GenX) and 1982 (Millennial) respectively and we all played Nintendo pretty hard. It came out in the US in 85, which would be peek teen years for many GenX, in 85 only 4 years of Millennials had been born and would've been toddlers at best playing NES. SNES was 1990 when many Millennials would be playing it.

Well, the one that has flying reindeer pulling his sleigh not only lacks concrete evidence/logic of existing but also has history showing that he was deliberately made up.

However, Saint Nicholas who he was partially based on was a real person as far as anyone can tell.

The thing about a lot of deities is that the attributes to them can be as vague or inscrutable as one likes to avoid having to give proof of their existence. Like when people say, "God works in mysterious ways," to get away with saying God is all-good even in the face of tragedy.
