some people believe santa is seen as a religious figure others dont, surely he isnt because he is only associated with Saint Nicholas, right?

   Hello CookieMonster!
   Lovely to see you back again and with an updated picture! Looking very lovely there might i add.
   Onto your question, i dont have a clue about the origins on Santa Claus and why he came about and what his connections are with Saint Nicholas so i took the liberty to do a search and heres what i came up with..
   
   Santa Claus, or Santa, is a figure in North American culture with legendary, mythological and folkloric aspects, which reflect an amalgamation of the Dutch Sinterklaas,[1] the English Father Christmas, and Christmas gift-bringers in other traditions. Santa Claus is said to bring gifts to the homes of good children during the late evening and overnight hours of Christmas Eve, December 24.[2] Santa Claus in this contemporary understanding echoes aspects of hagiographical tales concerning the historical figure of gift-giver Saint Nicholas, the man from whom the name of Santa Claus derives and in whose honor Santa Claus may be referred to as Saint Nicholas or Saint Nick.
