I do tend to say Santa these days and thinking back I don't recall much mention of Father Christmas.

Saint Nicholas ? Isn't he the guy we have on december 5th?
Or Sinterklaas as we call him.
If he is he can't be an alternative for Father Christmas as he is a different bloke.

But if you let him in I could add Djesjt Marosh, father frost to your list.
He also wears a red suit with white trimmings and does a lot of HO HO HO Hooooo ;D
Or would that be too Russian for you

And no I did not vote

but Djesjt Marosh could be one of the Other.

Weeds are nature's revolution against the government of the gardener.
