Just remember that saint nicholas is the name christians gave to odin myth and celebration, riding with the wild hunt on sleipnir, the 8 legged horse. He used to ride in the sky with ghosts and leave gifts for those who deserved it.
Of course this used to be celebrated by a bonfire of burning trees to experience warmth and light on the darkest day of the year. Now we do it symbolically by putting lights in a tree.
Mistletoe, wreathes, they were all part of celebrating Yule.
The midwinter feast was celebrated for 12 days, which is where the 12 days of christmas comes from.

That's sinterklaas, who gave the name directly to santa clause, while most of the american habits around christmas are of british and norwegian/swedish origins (both had a large influence on early american culture, particularly because they were very useful as immigrants and they were good at living of the land and logging trees. The early swedish colony may havr been gobbled up, but the people remained).
