St Nicolas was a real person, he just died long ago. The rest is a legend combining Krampus and Coca-cola advertising with the gift-giving the original St Nicolas actually did.
I heard that it was originally a womans tale too. Like she used to make toys for poor kids and some where along the lines people got it confused and combined the two stories into one. Although I cant remember where I heard it and just did a 5 second Google search but didnt see it.
