Christmas lexicon

According to the National Trust, we should no longer talk about Santa Claus.  Father Christmas, they reckon, is "more British".  Mind you, an Irish Catholic priest has gone one better by suggesting that we should stop using the word Christmas at all, as it "no longer has any sacred meaning" and has been hijacked by "Santa and reindeer".  Remember when Birmingham came up with the idea of Winterval?  Perhaps not so daft after all.
