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?
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
You have malls and shopping centres? I thought they were the same thing. Whats the difference?
There’s no functional difference, we just use both terms. It’s a bit arbitrary, but generally once a mall is a mall we stick with that and vice versa. E.g. “Westfield St Lukes” is known as “St Lukes mall” colloquially by pretty much everyone.
Die Anglosphäre ist nicht ganz überall.
Germans in the southern hemisphere… Where have I heard it before… 🤔
Ja, aber ich weiß nicht ob die espanolsphere oder die frankafrique hat Santa Claus.
Und ihren Kolonie ist vergesslich
