A Christmas tradition
<-- We have this Father Christmas* ornament that one of us, I think my brother, made in primary school. It's made of cardboard and has limbs that can be moved. One of my favourite Christmas traditions is to position the Father Christmas as on the right so that he looks like he desperately need to pee. 
The pink cheeks and the uncomfortable expression are just perfect. You can also make him do the splits, a jig, or something that is not really family-appropriate humour. Sadly, I'm the only one who really puts much effort into this one. You can decide for yourself whether 'sadly' in that sentence should be taken to mean 'unfortunately' or 'pathetically.'
* I've been saying 'Santa' so much lately, out of either laziness or exposure to American television, that I feel like I need to get back into the habit of using 'Father Christmas' before it's too late.
The Supreme Court has ruled that they cannot have a nativity scene in Washington, D. C. This wasn't for any religious reasons. They couldn't find three wise men and a virgin. Jay Leno

I started this comment several times but ended up deleting them all. You are SO weird! Who does that!?
I think any and all illusions of you being serious and mature and intelligent may have just been shattered.
Although. Yes. It IS hysterical. I like it.
As for Santa/Father Christmas, I never really realised there's much of a difference! Everybody in my family (and at work) always said Santa or Santa Claus. I don't think I know anybody who DOESN'T say it! o.O
:O at the quote. Oh Jay Leno. Teehee. Aww.
:-P
Huh. Maybe the Father Christmas thing is one of my family's peculiarities. I assumed it was a British thing, and that Santa was more American but apparently not!
Lol @ Santa! I would do that too if we had one like that! We used to have posable fridge magnets that used to end up in innumerable non-family-appropriate positions lol.
As for the Santa/Father Christmas thing...I can't remember saying anything other than Santa. I don't think there's anything inherently American about calling him Santa Claus, as far as I'm aware it's an anglicisation of Sinterklaas, which is the Dutch word for Saint Nicholas. *wordnerd*
