Hold on, I'm not versed in British culture... what do y'all call him? St. Nick?

"Father Christmas" Tongue Although to my dismay it is being increasingly replaced by "Santa Claus"

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

Father Christmas does sound better. Sounds more... or rather less Hallmark. Less let's make this holiday about spending money. But hey that's the difference between England and America. lol
