Always but ALWAYS Father Christmas.

Isn't "Santa" an Americanism?

Edit: Nope, evolution from Saint Nick apparently.

It is Father Christmas. Santa is American rubbish.

Father Christmas at formal occasions, Santa when we break into the drinks cabinet.

They are separate people.

Santa Claus = Jolly old Saint Nicolaus the gift giver.

Father Christmas = German pisshead who liked to play tricks during Yuletide.

My lad got confused about this at an early age, hence we still refer to "Santa Christmas".

I think Father Christmas is actually English, not German in origin unlike most of our traditions.

Indeed. And in his earliest manifestations, back in the 1500s, he wore green robes.
