Heh. That might be more sensible, but no - our Santa is dressed in the full regalia. And whoever's being a Santa Claus for something spends the entire day BOILING.
Weirdly, our Christmases still are culturally winterish. Um... That sounded odd... What I mean is, we sing songs about snow and reindeer, we have snow-covered-fields-and-so-forth on cards, we have roast dinners (some of us), we spray fake snow on Christmas trees, and we have hot Christmas pudding, and, yeah, full Santa outfits including fake beards.
And yet, it's usually 40 degrees outside (104 F), and we'll all be in shorts and t-shirts, and have a game of backyard cricket after lunch...
