Now, I know I posted this poll, but it's caused an inner conflict!! I grew up with Father Christmas, but now I have children I find myself saying Santa! Why-oh-why???? I actually prefer father Christmas!

omg .. same dilema here !!!

I've actually voted other .. as want both FC & Santa !

At the moment it's Father Christmas but later it'll probably be Santa ...ermm it's going to depend on mood isn't it ?? ... another one for the specialists to explain away before the marketing gang snag it :wink: lol

father Christmas at work, but use all of the above at home, particularly as we used to also celebrate st. Nicholas day 6th dec , putting shoes outside the door and waiting to see if we got sticks (if naughty) or sweets (if good) next morning. (when children were at home)

Continental background coming out here.

also no decorations go up till Xmas eve in our house, and big family meal after decorating , we however wait till xmas day for presents, so a real mix of traditions
