About the Author
Why isn't Santa Claus Turkish?
Saint Nicholas was from Anatolia (present-day Turkey). It is believed that Santa was made to look similar to Odin in Norse mythology, and he doesn't look like St. Nicholas very much. This part of Turkey was under Greek control at the time, so St. Nicholas was either Greek or Turkish (or both).
Is this more evidence for the Pagan influences on Christianity?
Saint Nicholas lived in Anatolia long before the first Turkish clans started settling there, so it doesn't make sense to call him Turkish. He lived in Lycia, which was a Greek-speaking province of the Roman Empire, so you can call him Greek, although I don't see the point of assigning a nationality to somebody who lived almost 2000 years ago.
Santa Claus, on the other hand, is an imaginary figure who may or may not be partly based on Saint Nicholas, so it makes even less sense to assign a nationality to him.
