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?
Yes. In Brazil we have the same Santa.
The reason the guy doesn’t overheat (more often) is because they only cosplay in climate controlled areas like malls. Their costume is also made with breathable and “thin” fabric, not much hotter than your regular sweatpant.
(Replying to myself because I feel like to instead of editing my original comment)
We also have the same decorations like you guys: Christmas trees covered in snow, Santa in cold weather gear, reindeers and probably everything else you can name.
It doesn’t make any sense and we know it. It’s just an excuse to get drunk and eat a lot.
I like this new guy and his username.
Thanks, new guy! My curiosity is very much satisfied :D
