Having grown up in the northern hemisphere I have a particular mental image of Father Christmas/Santa Claus/Saint Nick/whatever. It involves a lot of clothing, topped with a lined robe. Y’know, typical cold weather gear.

In the southern hemisphere, do you get the same? If so, how come the poor guys cosplaying as him don’t overheat?

    It’s the same, and really weird for me. Like they’re unironically wholesale swallowing cultural domination. All kinds of winter decorations, smack dab in the middle of summer. Have some pride man.

      Did you somehow get the idea that northern hemisphere countries own Christmas traditions?

        IDK, are the northerners having opposite season decorations for christmas to conform to the southern season during christmas?
