What if Santa is gender-queer?

My fondness for Santa goes way back. In the days when I used to buy into the patriarchal God paradigm (touted at the Catholic school I attended), I thought of Santa as similar to God, or perhaps, maybe even God in disguise. After all, both were depicted as white bearded males...
After Catholic school put me off organized religion for life (which it achieved by the time I was in 4th grade), I didn't give up my love for Santa even though I ultimately rejected the idea of the big white dude in the sky.
