Is this a regional thing or modern trend? I grew up with Father Christmas - and am from the north - but then again my husband is a southerner and refers to Father Christmas. My son points out that Santa Claus is German - that Father Christmas is British! Which name do you use? |

But Saint Nicholas visits on the continent - I believe on a different date to 25th. |

Father Christmas in Lancashire, but Santa seems the thing here in Scotland. Papa Weihnachten in Germany or Weihnachtsman |
