I like classic boy names, and Nicholas fits very well in that category. Easy to pronounce, spelled nicely, and it flows nicely with your middle name choice.
Congrats! I also have a Christmas baby.. Well, close enough. 12/23/13. I think Nicholas is a great name! I wouldn't worry about him being born at Christmas.
