To be fair, why are people so insistent to portray him as a Roman Catholic priest who is also the patron saint of whores and Russia ?
Is that truly someone on whose lap you want your kids to sit ?

I think the UK has both (a varying-amount of) awareness of Saint Nicholas as being a saint, while also mostly using "jolly old Saint Nick", "Father Christmas" and "Santa" fairly interchangeably.
I might guess that's partly due to access to an increasing amount of U.S. popular culture over the last few decades, though, so you're not wrong.
