    Santy when I was a kid, then Santa when I grew up and realised his name was actually Santa...the clue is in the name...Santa Claus.

    But sometimes I say Santy. And other times I say Santa.

    Santy.

    Santa.

    He's a priest?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Well he's not daddy Christmas he's Father Christmas. And the myth was originally spun from St. Nicholas who was a bishop who handed out presents to poor children so technically he is.

    Culchie here. Santy is my default. Though I feel self-conscious saying it at times as apparently people can be secretly (or not so secretly) snooty about it.

    The Mother. Can't remember what I refer to her directly as?
    The Father. Dad if referred to directly.
    sinterklaas. Just joking he's different. Some heathen dutch impersonator running around with a load of lads in black face. Funniest **** you'll ever see. Santy. Must be said in a most childish way.

    Santy (Dub).

    Father Christmas if you were posh.

    Santy if you're from the council estate, and Santa if you're from the better part of town.
    Father Christmas if you're from one of the big houses. That's the impression I get.

    Fair point.

    I want to meet a priest now with the surname Christmas, just so I can call him Father Christmas...

    I'd say Santa whilst speaking English, and San Nioclás whilst speaking in Irish.

    Santa = middle and upper class Dublin.

    Santy = working class Dublin and rest of the Republic.

    There was a Church of England priest in I think Cornwall a few years ago with the surname Christmas, as he was high Anglican he was titled Father rather than Reverend. So, Father Christmas. I must dig out an old Crockford's directory & scan his entry!

    Santa if you're normal.

    Santy if you're common.

    Father Christmas if you're an English Protestant.

    Saint Nicholas if you're a pious religibot.

    Saint Nick if you're a hip cool religibot.

    Babbo Natale if you likea spaghetti.
