**Some of the Santa names and places that they came from may be slightly illegitimate. Please try and enjoy the poll anyway. THX.**

Mr. Que, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 16:38 (eighteen years ago)

Dying to know what they call him in Finland.

Will M., Wednesday, 12 December 2007 16:42 (eighteen years ago)

Also... I like Ash Man best.

sorry, i can't stop laughing at that picture

erm, the one in the original post. (actually can't see Noodles)

Ste, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 16:45 (eighteen years ago)

anyone recall the simpsons quote, something like "except in japan they call him 'annual gift man' and he lives on the moon"?

Mark Clemente, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 16:52 (eighteen years ago)

i think i saw dyed moroz open for bad brains like 16 years ago.

chicago kevin, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 16:58 (eighteen years ago)

Why is Sinterklaas attributed to Indonesia instead of the Netherlands, who presumably imported Sinterklaas to their colonies?

jaymc, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 16:59 (eighteen years ago)

Captain Sack Bagface is so great.

John Justen, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 17:04 (eighteen years ago)

Also, the next time someone calls him "Father Christmas", I'm going to ask them if they live in Ray Davies.

Yes, John Waters, great ep.

Does anyone actually call him Kris Kringle?

Ned Trifle II, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 17:43 (eighteen years ago)

Father Christmas that is not John Waters.

Ned Trifle II, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 17:43 (eighteen years ago)

I voted for BOZICEK

nabisco, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 18:03 (eighteen years ago)

I think it's because I imagine the Chief of Santas calling him into his office in a rage --

"BOZICEK! Get in here! You're a loose cannon!"
When the going gets tough, the tough turn to ... BOZICEK
This summer, Brian Dennehy IS ... BOZICEK

nabisco, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 18:06 (eighteen years ago)

The best one, Mos Crăciun, from Romania, isn't on the list.

deedeedeextrovert, Thursday, 13 December 2007 03:41 (eighteen years ago)

Svaty Miklas!! But Sinterklas is a close second.

VegemiteGrrrl, Thursday, 13 December 2007 04:21 (eighteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

ILX System, Monday, 17 December 2007 00:01 (eighteen years ago)

I don't think the German one is correct, the actual German word is "Weihnachtsmann" (Christmas Man). Germans don't even write "man" with just one n. The finnish name "Joulupukki" translates to "Christmas Goat", btw. (Before the universal white-bearded guy took over, the gifts were traditonally delivered by a dude with a goats face.)

Tuomas, Monday, 17 December 2007 13:09 (eighteen years ago)

DEAR GERMANY:

I AM SORRY FOR THE BAD POLL. NO STOLLEN FOR ME THIS YEAR IN MY STOCKING!!!!!!!

in france, pere noel is often "papa noel"

and he IS NOT FAT (necessarily)

Tracer Hand, Monday, 17 December 2007 15:59 (eighteen years ago)

Captain Sack Bagface is so great.

But who the fuck has ever said this?

Sundar, Monday, 17 December 2007 17:15 (eighteen years ago)

(Not that it's not classic or anything.)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I didn't get a chance to vote on this. ;_;

I would have voted for Captain Sack Bagface, though. ^_^

The Welsh - Sion Corn - appeals, but mainly because of Datblygu's Ga i fod Sion Corn (Can I Be Father Christmas), which I listened to over and over again while drinking a bottle of whisky a few years ago.
