Christmas saint (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nicholas

'christmas saint' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for nicholas that I've seen before include "Saint identified as Santa Claus" , "Former Russian leader" , "Boy" , "Russia's last emperor ..." , "Novel featuring Dotheboys Hall" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Irish Times.
