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?


Do you think corporatism and capitalism only exist in the northern hemisphere?
Do you think mall Santas exist everywhere, or do you realise that different cultures have different traditions?
I suspect they exist in Australia
Yeah but they’re called shopping centre santas not mall santas.
Kiwi here. We have malls and shopping centers, but only mall Santas
No, but I’d wager there’s at least one mall in the southern hemisphere that employs at least one Santa, making your assertion incorrect.
That’s not really “everywhere”. Not all 180-200 countries have them.
