I thought I would share this one from the web site of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland.
"Our favourite Christmas card is from Fellow Charles Burnett, Ross Herald Extraordinary, featuring a suggested "Arms for Father Christmas, Knight Grand of the Most Frigid Order of the Crystal Snowflake" Thank you Charles!"
It's my favourite too!

They look like irradiated suns or stars, perhaps?

No, but you can't have Christmas without Jesus who is of the House of David.

Re: Christmas Heraldry
In any case the arms with the Star of David are not attributed to St. Nicholas, but to Father Christmas.
