What you don't like The Santa Claus or are you just in a funny mood today.

Uh are you serious? If so then I suggest you re read world history.

No, I suggest you do. Most countries have their own santa-like character, they're not all the same and most have different names. Santa is really just a US and Canada thing, and to a lesser extent the UK, but he's usually called Father Christmas over here.

Sorry, but this is really funny. I am from country, where we really don´t have Santa (and many of us are sick from constant invasion of Santas from US movies and shows)and I should read history? You do it Or you thought that whole planet has some version of someone, who brings gifts to kids?

Anyway, sorry for OT.

Once I read really cool fan fiction about Christmas in Atlantis. It was made very believeable and there was no problem with Teyla, Ronon or others who don´t celebrate Xmas. But I think if authors should do Xmas story, it would be something like "problems find us even on Christmas Eve". But I think there could be some cute confusion, where Americans have gifts in the morning and for example Zelenka (as Czech) would get his in the evening how is it done here Hmm, I think I will try to write a story again...
It could be cool to see something like that in one episode, thought.

In Belgium we have "Sinterklaas" on the 6th of December.

And then Santa Claus on the 25th...

Ok so yeah he is called other things but it is still the same concept.

I know the whole planet does not but a far as I recall several countries, UK, and most of Europe as well as Finland have similar incarnations of Santa, like Father Christmas. Also I have a minor in History and the idea of Santa was modeled after a real person in Turkey in the 11th century.

Actually it's not just the names, the tales from each country are all fairly unique.

I'm aware of that and I never said they weren't. I understand the frustration that the majority of the version that is shown in movies and tv is the American one but we have ventured way of topic.

We did get around to breaking Martin’s story today. The place-holder title, Snow Globe, lasted all of one day. It looks like, instead, we’ll be going with Rob Cooper’s suggestion: Brain Storm.

Gonna have to change the title of the thread!

Santa as he appears in Canada and the US is almost wholly the creation of the Coca-Cola Corporation.
How's that for corporate power?

Wonder if the writers realize BRAINSTORM was the name of the ill-fated scifiy type movie in which Natalie Wood died?
