It's Bloody Father Christmas!

Billy · 05-12-2005, 07:26

I have mentioned this before! But why is it everyone calls Father Christmas bloody Santa these days! It bloody Pisses me off big time!

Call me old fashioned, but I refuse to call Father Christmas Santa Clause!

We are not Yanks! Bloody Americanisms!

Welcome to Austramerica!

All I hear on tv is Santa this and Santa that!

Woops!!! Well I guess I let it slip in one of my posts eh.... I think it comes from hearing it all the time as you say, on the telly etc...but I also grew up with hearing "Santa" this "Santa" that, 'cos we were surrounded by yanks up in Woomera.
I will be more careful in future around your presence Billy...or is that GIFT!?!

You are so right it is FATHER CHRISTMAS!!!! I am constantly telling my kids it's Father Christmas then they watch tv and come back with Santa! I will win even if I sound like a bloody recording after awhile!

And did everyone see the crap on tv, kids are no longer allowed to have photo's taken on Father Christmas's knee, his hands must be visible at all times, he is not allowed to pat them on the head as this may be against their religion, etc........ where does it all end I ask?!!?

You know the original Saint Nick was green and orange.... and that it was actually Coca Cola who inspired his Red and white colouring. Don't believe me? Research it.

Yeah, outback_style, I seen that too. Bloody rediculious really. I'm just concerned about what my kids are going to do when I finally decide to have them. There not going to be allowed out the house. I reckon that Father Christmas in a few years will just be a legend (well more than he is).

kaz · 05-12-2005, 19:53

hell yeah it's father christmas. it's all the commercial stuff around that says santa. we were at the christmas pagent in barker last saturday and the woman said over the pa system that santa would be coming soon. she come back a few seconds later saying that she stood corrected and that it was father christmas that would be arriving and minute now.
i must admit though i am a bit of a shocker for putting xmas instead of christmas, i think that comes from sms-ing too much.

rumsup1 · 06-12-2005, 00:28

it's always been father christmas round my family santa is another americanism and who the hell is kris kringle noticed a lot of people using xmas more than christmas ya mite b rite kaz 2 much sms-ing

kaz · 07-12-2005, 13:13

kris kringle is another bastardised version of something that started a long time ago. now don't quote me on this but it's what i have always known.
Kinder Krist is german in origin and refers to a man coming around to all the houses around christmas time (although i don't know if it was xmas eve, i think it was a couple weeks before). all the children would leave their shoes by the front door and if they had been good all year they would recieve lollies in them. but if they had been bad they would find their shoes filled with potatoes.

kaz · 07-12-2005, 13:39

he's some more info on the jolly man himself http://www.geocities.com/utherworld/seasons/santa.html

jess · 08-12-2005, 15:53

Well call me un-traditional but it's never really fased me! I guess I've grown up where it has always been known as 'Santa". *shrug*

kaz · 21-12-2005, 12:01

it's becoming increasingly difficult to keep correcting my boy on the whole santa/father christmas thing. i try and wonder if i should give up, everyone else around him calls him santa because that's what all the other kids hear from the media and see in the shops. i'm determined to stick with it though.

I know exactly what your'e saying kaz! I have four kids and I am forever correcting them..........they tell me but that's what it says on tv, or on the signs at the shops! IT'S BLOODY FATHER CHRISTMAS!!! Maybe if we all keep reminding our kids who he is future generations may go back to the way it is supposed to be!

QueenslandIsNotTheSmartState · 01-01-2006, 12:29

if it's against their religion for him to pat them on the head, then why the hell are they going to see him to sit on his knee/get photo taken or whatever? i swear some of these religious groups are bloody hypocrites, could start a new thread just on that, but i wont lol.

Billy · 25-07-2007, 23:05

Bump!

metal mickey · 25-07-2007, 23:47

i agree if they dont like our way of life they can go back to there own country as the saying goes "bugger off were full"

Running On Empty · 26-07-2007, 15:41

Americanisms I can't stand... father christmas or santa claus I couldn't care less, because we are not big celebrators of anything religious. We just give Shelby presents from Mummy & Daddy, Nanny & Poppy etc

metal mickey · 26-07-2007, 23:38

Burgs · 27-07-2007, 07:05
