FabSwingers.com forum: Father Christmas OR Santa...?

What do you prefer?

I much prefer "Father Christmas". It has a more endearing feel to it, a Dickensian or old wordly evocation, reminiscent of childhood stories and adaptations. It just feels 'traditionally English'.

I rarely use "Santa", a name which is just as old. But I feel it's a 'commercialised' term...

Santa means Saint.

St. Nicholas preceded 'father Christmas'

Odin prededed St. Nicholas......

How far back 'tradition wise' do you want to go ?

I prefer father Christmas. Santa doesn't feel nice in the mouth.

The Father Christmas name will most likely be outlawed soon as symbol of patriarchy and male privilege or something like that, and it'll have to be Santa.

Yes, that's a fair observation.

So you switch between the two depending on your target audience?

Santa is definitely used more commonly here in Scotland.

It must be. I'm probably yearning for the Dickensian Christmas mentioned above or maybe it's my daddy issues meaning I'd love for a generous, white bearded man to give me presents and be able to call him father.

Psychology 101 right here.

Used? You make him sound like he's an intimate feminine lust toy.

Or perhaps that's just my filthy mind at work, again.

Definitely the latter ... although I could have expressed it better

How many times have you had Santa in your mouth?

His name is Saint Nicholas

Any name that is given to him is just a term of endearment and that is how my small people are not devastated when the dreaded "santa is not real" comes out at school

How many times have you had Santa in your mouth?

I was wondering who'd make that gag. What can I say, he got me d*unk.
