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?

    Australia, yes we have regular Santa’s for the most part. Occasionally you’ll get Santa in shorts or whatever, but generally it’ll be the regular outfit. Santa coincidentally only shows up for a few minutes sometimes, then is called away on urgent business.
