My poor mother always went to drastic lengths to get me to believe in magic, but I was an impossibly practical and logical child! She never tried to forge a connection between Santa and Jesus, but then I never had any particular interest in either of them, so I suppose she didn't have to!
The aforementioned librarian (one of the heroes of my life!) would read us Irish folk tales on St. Pat's Day, which I always liked. And the candy was nice! And putting shamrocks up on the bulletin board. But...that was it. Don't know where the creepy leprechauns are supposed to come in...
