Early Christianity may have existed before Muggle and wizard societies separated. It may have had both wizard and Muggle worshippers (Rowling is silent on the matter of religion, but resurrection would be just as miraculous to wizards). For that matter, Jesus could have existed in the Potterverse, in which case odds of him being a wizard are extremely high.
Early Christians did not have a tradition regarding a fat, bearded man commemorating the birth of their savior by giving gifts to good children.
Nor do we know that wizards have one. We know that people give each other presents at Christmas. We also know that there is a wizard explanation for the hanging of green and red decorations. Are there any other features of Muggle Christmas that show up in canon?

Decorated Christmas trees, mistletoe hanging from the ceiling… And the ‘wizard explanation’ for red and green is MoR-only, of course.
If it’s not already in other fanfics by now, it will be soon.
Father Christmas, isn’t it? Or Santa Claus. That’s canon.
Is it? I can’t remember. The only Santa Claus reference that springs to mind is the signature on the notes in MoR.
