Heard about this before, I think amanitas most likely DO have something to do with it 
I mean come on..  Red and white.. Reindeers.. Sounds like Christmas to me 
I bet there was a different "legend" entirely about reindeers and amanitas. The (Catholic) church probably changed the records, I'd imagine.

He originally wore many different colours. He was depicted as wearing different things. The red and white robes were based on some clerics robes of the time. It was later chamved to his suite but still in other colours, often green. From what I understand this was finally solidified to red and white when cocacola started using it and some artist depicted him that way. So based on that I would say it had very little to do with fly agaric. Maybe I'm wrong. Counter me. I only read briefly ages ago

Prior to Christianization, the Germanic peoples (including the English; Old English geola or guili) celebrated a midwinter event called Yule. With the Christianization of Germanic Europe, numerous traditions were absorbed from Yuletide celebrations into modern Christmas. During this period, supernatural and ghostly occurrences were said to increase in frequency, such as the Wild Hunt, a ghostly procession through the sky. The leader of the wild hunt is frequently attested as the god Odin and he bears the Old Norse names Jólnir, meaning "yule figure" and the name Langbarðr, meaning "long-beard" (see list of names of Odin).
The god Odin's role during the Yuletide period has been theorized as having influenced concepts of St. Nicholas in a variety of facets, including his long white beard and his gray horse for nightly rides (see Odin's horse Sleipnir), which was traded for reindeer in North America.Margaret Baker comments that "The appearance of Santa Claus or Father Christmas, whose day is 25th of December, owes much to Odin, the old blue-hooded, cloaked, white-bearded Giftbringer of the north, who rode the midwinter sky on his eight-footed steed Sleipnir, visiting his people with gifts. … Odin, transformed into Father Christmas, then Santa Claus, prospered with St Nicholas and the Christchild became a leading player on the Christmas stage."

The only thing I gathered from that txt is that apparently Odin is/was a Transformer
