That’s why I used air quotes. Like from a real world perspective, Saint Nicholas is a historical figure and Santa Claus is a mythical figure inspired by him, amongst other things. In the DWU, Saint Nicholas is also a historical figure, however Santa Claus is a separate entity, despite being based on the mythical figure inspired by Saint Nicholas.

:''Well''… to be entirely honest, the folkloric Saint Nicholas who goes about on the white horse with the long white beard and the bishop's hat and gives out oranges is… pretty much as far removed from the historical figure as Santa Claus himself. Though I see what you mean. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 23:20, October 12, 2018 (UTC) | |||
