Years ago I saw the JW’s coming up my drive, having sent them away in the past to no avail. I took my clothes off as they neared I threw door open and politely asked them in. This was back before they started bringing children with them. They didn’t stay and never came back.
But @Get_off_my_lawn your post suggests that you wouldn’t mind discussing their superstitious beliefs in which case why not just say, “this isn’t a good time but if you came back _____ I would love to discuss your delusions.”
My mother used to tell them that if they could show her where in the Bible it mentions baseball, they could come in and state their case for the veracity of their religion.
Another fun way of dealing with the JWs, is to subject them to a two hour lecture on invertebrate zoology. Including all the lurid details of the sex lives of mites, Strepsiptera, certain Hemiptera and various parasitic wasps. They leave skid marks on exit.
Usually, they start squirming the moment I mention Hesperocimex cochimiensis using sex as a biological weapon to eliminate competing Hesperocimex sonorensis. By the time I reach Acarophenax tribolii, they’re in need of peeling off the ceiling prior to relese. Muhahahahaha …

Tell them you will discuss God the same day they show you proof of Santa and the Easter Bunny.

Although I would agree that proving the existence of the Easter Bunny might prove difficult for theists there is more and better proofs for your friend and mine Santa. Consider that at least two species of mammals fly, bats and squirrels so why not reindeers? And in case they want to argue the existence of god you can point out that Santa has more enduring influence than god. For example even after people no longer believe in Santa they continue to celebrate his spirit. Many cities in North America even have Santa Clause Parades and armies of Santas’ hold court in shopping malls across the land listening to the desires of children. Of course the theist will argue that there are hoards of missionaries haunting the sidewalks and darkening our doorways with their clap trap but very few have the commitment to go full regalia with robes, sandals and thorn sweat bands. Believers in God also pour out their desires in the form of prayer but ask yourself which one delivers the goods! Santa hands down; or down the chimney if you prefer. God is rightly described as a genocidal maniac Santa is described as a jolly old elf. Santa fills people with Christmas cheer God fills people with Christian fear.
