  • Father Christmas was the gift-bearing figure, known on both Earth and in the World of Narnia, who came to all the good creatures in Narnia the night before Christmas.
  • "Father Christmas" is the villain sucks song of Ebenzer Scrooge, sung in the 1971 musical films adaption of A Christmas Carol, Scrooge.
  • Father Christmas possesses incredible magical abilities, the limits of which are unknown. Among the abilities he has demonstrated, he has the ability to appear and disappear at will and to predict the future. He can only be seen by living creatures: he is invisible to machines such as Trooper Badniks. Father Christmas also claims that he cannot be touched in anger, and when Doctor Robotnik attempted to do so, Robotnik's hand passed straight through him. However, he was later attacked by Sonic the Hedgehog (who believed he was Robotnik in disguise) and Sonic was able to throw him into a snowdrift, although Father Christmas was completely unharmed.
  • There is much debate over Father Christmas' residence, with some people claiming that he lives at the North Pole, while others argue he resides in Lapland. In truth, he has official residences in both places.
  • Father Christmas resembles a rotund human male in a red, patterned coat with green tartan cuffs and white fur trim. He has a big, bushy white beard and half-moon spectacles, and carries a long wooden staff with a stylised snowflake on the top.

  • Father Christmas is a figure associated with Christmas, and is typically portrayed as a jolly old man with a long white beard, dressed in red. Ronald Weasley remarked that the Muggle perception of garden gnomes resembled this, while real gnomes look quite different. In 1995 while staying at 12 Grimmauld Place at Christmas a little Father Christmas was seen flying around on a broomstick.
  • He appears in the second series of Sooty in the episode Pranks and Presents where he enlists the help of Sooty to create some Sooty toys for Christmas. As a reward for their kind actions, Father Christmas gives Sooty, Sweep, Soo and Richard a present each. Unfortunately, Sooty and the gang have no recollection of their trip to the North Pole and assume that Mr. Slater gave them the presents. In this appearance, Father Christmas was played by Brian Blessed.
  • The book's title character and protagonist is quite different from the "jolly old elf" described in "A Visit from St. Nicholas". Briggs' Father Christmas is often grumpy (he rarely speaks without using the mild swear word "bloomin'"). To him, delivering presents on Christmas Eve is simply a job and not one which he always enjoys. He hates snow and wintery weather and longs for the summer sun. The portrayal of Father Christmas in the book is also unusual in that he appears to live in an ordinary house in a provincial English town. He lives alone, apart from his dog, cat and two reindeer, and has no helpers of any kind. In some ways, Briggs' Father Christmas is very human. He enjoys alcohol, is seen using the toilet and is even seen dreaming about attractive young women.
  • Father Christmas, in Christian and secular Western tradition, is also known as Santa Claus or Saint Nicholas. He is usually depicted as a large fat man in a red coat and hat trimmed with white fur, with a bushy white beard and a distinctive laugh usually rendered in text as "ho ho ho." His job is to bring presents to children on the night of Christmas Eve. Father Christmas appears as a character in The Chronicles of Narnia, and his incarnation in this continuum was able to suspend Tawaki Penguin's Bloodwrath as a gift.
