It's really up to you how to paint them. there are about 30 different variations of Santa Claus / St Nick throughout the world. Google it & take your inspiration from there. Plus, there isn't really any wrong version.

Your hand carved wooden Santa's faces are really good, specially i liked that part where you have maintain different moustache for each face.
But why middle face Santa looks so worried and unhappy???
Anyways nice work. I like it.
