Here's a new one for you lot,

Father Christmas or Santa Claus, when I were a lad it was always Father Christmas, these days it seems to be Santa........

 

[CliveV]

Neither - it has to be the Hogfather.

Sky 1 this Christmas

If you live north of the border that is ?

It's the European influence Santa Claus being german for Saint Nicholas

Next thing we'll hear is that there is a EU Directive to harmonise Christmas terminology throughout the Europe. In order to ensure that also the new member states are given due consideration, I think we ought to give them a chance and call Santa everywhere by his Latvian name, Ziemsv

 

[Clive-Cardiff]

To encourage religeous harmony how about something like - Ahmed Jacob Rasta Claus???

Some times I think you members don't take this forum seriously.

 

[Val & Frank]

You are 100% correct LOL

I admire your observation skills, You can go to the top of the class. I see Clive has excluded the Welsh from his Christmas rant --)). Maybe he does not know the Welsh for Father Christmas ???

Now I feel excluded because he missed St George from his name so I think it should be Ahmed Jacob Rasta St George Claus??? and to show I am also politically correct Andrew Ahmed Jacob Rasta St George David Patrick Claus???

Now if you just change the "St George" to "Boy George" I think you will have covered every angle.

Talking about the european directive, does this mean that Santa/father christmas's will all have to be the same size, ie:- can't be big or small just all medium. ha ha ha

Does it matter what the man in red is called, as long as he continues to make our little ones happy while they believe in him.
