Not sure if its just me, but Santa seems so Americanised. It's always been father Christmas in our house but I think we're in the minority?

I'm English so use Father Christmas, as he is English folk law.

Folk law? Do you mean folklore?

@ApolloandDaphne yes, bloody autocorrect separated it and before I noticed it had posted.

Thanks for noticing though

Always been Father Christmas here.

But I've noticed children at school tend to say Santa a lot more these days,

Every single year, there's some ignorant poster starting a thread moaning that a term that has been widely used in parts of the UK is too "Americanised".

This old chestnut again Hmm

Santa isn't 'American' - just because something seems different to a Home Counties ear doesn't mean it's 'American'.

Santa Claus is Irish and also Scottish.
