Santa to us Scots!Ok maybe shes not a twit on this occasion. Just this one !
A lady at work calls him Father Christmas , which I always thought was odd.
How come we've spent do long talking about him at easter?
US - Santa
UK - Father Christmas
It's a cultural thing. She's in the UK, so it's common and expected that she calls him Father Christmas. Now that's cleared up, let's move on from this non-issue.

That's just made it all more confusing. I thought most of the posters who thought saying Father Christmas was odd are also from the UK and Northern Ireland.
Maybe Father Christmas is more old fashioned and more proper
Father Christmas is definitely traditional in the UK. We say Santa because he’s Santa in all the good Christmas films and it gets confusing for our little one.
Well there are Scottish and Northern Irish posters on here saying that they’ve always used ‘Santa’ so it isn’t just a recent Americanisation. We can all agree that Lauren is a tit though, so there’s consensus there 
This is such a non-issue. Can we get back to moaning about Lauren now please?
Fair point
I’m still quite annoyed that she goes to a country park in a crisp white shirt and white trousers. I look like a damn mess when I go and come back covered in muck from playing with the little one and sitting on the grass.
That was really the point i was making !! Its just another way of her trying to be twee in my opinion. But wish i hadnt mentioned itWell there are Scottish and Northern Irish posters on here saying that they’ve always used ‘Santa’ so it isn’t just a recent Americanisation.

As for it being a non issue...pretty much everything on tattle is such. Its just a bit of fun!
Yeah but no. This is a thread about Lauren being a twit. If you want to set up a new one about Santa vs Father Christmas knock yourself out. You could even go wild and add a poll to it!That was really the point i was making !! Its just another way of her trying to be twee in my opinion. But wish i hadnt mentioned it

the original post was in relation to lauren. However more than willing to move the chat alongIs it just me who thinks the Easter bedroom decor is pretty much identical to the Christmas and autumn bedroom decor?

That just means she isnt quite a hands on or fun mum as she tries to look. I get up climbing the trees, into the puddles and grass with my kids, get involved. Not stand 6 ft to the side in my white linen trews and white chunky knit taking instastories and replying to DMsFair point

It's alllll for the gram..It's selfish and not for her boys AT ALL!!!!
I hope they wipe their snot on the teddies when she’s not looking
I agree. It’s quite sad really.
Do normal people? No!
