In a world with transporter technology wouldn't it be considered weird not being able to do that?
They also have anti-gravity sleds, there's probably a planet somewhere with bioluminescent flying reindeer, the only truly unbelievable thing about the whole story is they've got a guy wearing a red suit and he doesn't die.
I mean, I interpreted the statement as "this is something that happened" i.e. he's aware that it's a belief from the past, where transporter technology didn't exist yet. I can't believe the Santa tradition actually survives into an age where materialism is mostly eradicated.
But yeah also, the Santa thing contains that Santa actually physically delivers the presents himself, which, even with their current technology, is impossible. You'd need time travel for that.
Sounds like an average Tuesday for Chief O'Brien to me... but apparently there's a TNG comic confirming Santa is real (and also the Grinch for some reason??)
