I've always wondered what's the connection between a space zombie and a fat man who lives at the North Pole?

Saint Nicolas. No idea how he got all the other stuff- probably more cultural appropriation with yuletide- but he was the one that inspired the whole “going around and giving gifts into stockings” thing.

Also it’s maybe important to note he was about as white as Jesus would have been- he was a Greek dude in Turkey. (Specifically Myra.)
