St. Nicholas of Myra, the prototype for St. Nicholas > Santa Claus, was an active participant at the Nicene Council. My favorite scene from Nicaea comes when St. Nick, incensed at what the soon-to-be-designated arch heretic Arius of Alexandria had said, walks up and clobbers him.
Ho ho ho!
(And thus did the Holy Spirit guide the deliberations of the Fathers of the Church, helping them to formulate the pivotal doctrine of the ontological Nicene Trinity.)
