To be honest, I’d rather spend my eternity making toys for children rather than spend it praising a god or burning in hell. I would get some satisfaction in that there would be some payback for the previous gift. If I had my druthers, I’d like to make rubics cubes so I might someday solve it.

The mildly deranged penguin, who is a self-proclaimed obvious expert in Arctic matters, points out the usually dead (and sometimes ex-child) labourers are not sent to the North Pole, which is only a fairly minor sleigh reindeering stop. The North Pole fiction for all for tax-avoidance purposes.
The actual factories of Santa Toys Inc are scattered around the world, usually in places with poor-to-nonexistent labour laws / enforcement, such as the USA (and catholic churches). It also helps that the workers are usually dead, as owning enslaved zombies, even enslaved child zombies, is not specifically illegal.

Given the mortality rates of those times, most of Santa’s workers will be children. You could say Santa exploits child soul-diers.

An FYI – Oglaf is incredibly NSFW so I would recommend not clicking the link to the comic in a public setting.
