toys and not candy...what did I miss?

Why was the great pumpkin supposed to come and give out toys and not candy? Wouldn't it make more sense if he gave out candy and not toys? I thought that's what Santa was for?

Sort of like Mormons confusing elements of Christianity and lunacy.

Maybe that's why some people tell Linus he has GP mixed up with Kris Kringle.
