The feast of St. Nicholas is on December 6 not Christmas. He should not be associated with Christmas as that is a day devoted to the celebration of the birth of Our Lord.

How many people celebrate Christmas in the UK?

Only about 23% of people in the UK celebrate the birth of Jesus. People forget the real meaning of Christmas because people now think that the real meaning of Christmas is giving presents to each other. The real meaning of Christmas is to thank God for bringing himself to earth as a human being. He came to earth to forgive the people their sins and to give them a fresh start. It is also to share joy and love to each other and with family, friends and relations. Now that people forget this less and less people that really understand why Christmas is celebrated on earth.
