Isn't "Santa" an Americanism?

Edit: Nope, evolution from Saint Nick apparently.

It is Father Christmas. Santa is American rubbish.

I called him "dad" once I reached the age of about 6 and the truth had dawned on me.

Father Christmas at formal occasions, Santa when we break into the drinks cabinet.

They are separate people.

Santa Claus = Jolly old Saint Nicolaus the gift giver.

Father Christmas = German pisshead who liked to play tricks during Yuletide.

FC. santa occasionally (dont shoot me)

My lad got confused about this at an early age, hence we still refer to "Santa Christmas".

If you think it's Santa, you probably have a white plastic Christmas tree

Did you hear about the dyslexic Devil worshipper?

He sold his soul to Santa.

I think Father Christmas is actually English, not German in origin unlike most of our traditions.

Indeed. And in his earliest manifestations, back in the 1500s, he wore green robes.
