There were mythological figures, such as Odin and father winter who were celebrated that time of year before saint nicholas & who influenced his symbolism and mystical atributes.
That’s a lot of debunked and ahistorical nonsense.
Saint Nicholas is not a mythological character, but an historical one. His attributes came from an incident where he surreptitiously provided dowries for young women.
His attire is derived from the attire of a bishop.
