For the same reason others do, some are christian.

People who say they are Christians still celebrate Christmas on pagan holidays because they are filthy hypocrites

Are you sure its not the other way around?

well I haven't digged it out that much,

"Sinterklaas is the basis for the North American figure of Santa Claus. It was during the American War of Independence, that the inhabitants of New York City, a former Dutch colonial town (New Amsterdam) which had been swapped by the Dutch for other territories, reinvented their Sinterklaas tradition, as Saint Nicholas to be a symbol of the city's non-English past.[1] The name Santa Claus is derived from older Dutch Sinte Klaas."

what i've been told here all the time.
