We call him Santa Clause here in Canada and I don't know why haha. I found it strange when I moved from Brussels when i was little myself.
Found this:
The American version of St. Nicholas, or Santa Claus originally came from the Dutch version called Sint Klaas. The Dutch settlers in New Amsterdam (New York) brought this fun and lively tradition (some even say cult) to America.
