Boringgggggggg

Bloody ridiculous 😡😡...

probably the same idiots who wamt James bond to be Woman! Father Christmas is a male character. he's not gender neutral

Oh sod off HE is called Father Christmas because that's what HE identifies as. 🤦‍♀️😂

What is the gender neutral term for father Christmas? Is there such a thing ? And where does it stop ? Father time ? Mother nature ? Our father in heaven ? What's next ? Father Christmas was at Nick. A man.

TRextasyBand Jesus H....WTF?

HE has always been and always will be Father Christmas in our house....people need to get a grip now!

World gone mad , FatherChristmas is a white dude kids , some debate if he is from Greenland or Finland . But his identity is pretty clear cut . Christmas

It’s Father Christmas 🎄 end of . That’s it. Not they Christmas or their Christmas. Father Christmas.

Oh for God's, what's wrong with calling him father Christmas? .

Unnamed , slammed; then it's probably a load of shit.

Oh feck off

you guys are just trying to raise a debate.

I'm sorry but what we know is the traditional santa who is called Father Christmas.

It’s Santa or Father Christmas because he’s a man.

Fake News. daily mirror and their 'look we had 10,000 comments. But we made the story up. Sometimes you make the The Sun look like a proper newspaper.

Father Christmas, Santa Claus, Saint Nickolas, same bloke, always has been, always will be

Ridiculous

I think what's happened here is someone is winding her up seeing if they could get it in the press.

What an idiotic world we now live in!

Is santa gender neutral?

Fake

Gender what It’s Father Xmas always has been

mrscog58 I'd rather not say 'Parent Christmas' because that leaves out all the un-parents. So should I say 'Person Christmas' or is that too species-centric? How about 'Being Christmas' or 'Thing Christmas'?

‘Shamed’ on Facebook. Get a life.

SaturdayThoughts santa is a fictional character! Nobody cares what you call him, it’s make believe... btw adults should not have or care about “people” in mythology... get real & tell your kids the truth... it’s your credit card buying Christmas 😡😡🇺🇸😎

I’m offended that I can’t call Father Christmas, Father Christmas, so who do I have to bleat to and to be heard? 🤷‍♂️

I suppose 15% is now a majority then....🤷‍♂️

Facebook says it all really 😂😂😂That is the shittest social media platform ever fucking made

St Nicholas is a man hence father Christmas... Come on people WTF is wrong with this world

Fuuuuuuuck oooooooofffff! No one cares!!!!!!

Omg get a grip its santa , santy, andthing you want to call him, why have we got to bring gender into it, hes not a woman hes a man , god its so annoying x

Santa’s no real

What utter bullshit. Does that also mean that we can’t call the Queen “Her” magesty..... just to be gender neutral if course...,, get a life

Father Christmas or Santa Claus . I support this Mum 100% . Any one who shamed this Mum can go jump in a lake . SANTA IS A MAN NOT GENDER NEUTRAL!!!!! Political Correctness is WRONG AND GOING TO FAR !!!!!! I LOOK FORWARD TO THE LOSERS WHIO COMMENT NEGATIVELY BACK TO ME . 🎄🎄🎄

FFS MOVE ON GENDER NEUTRAL TWATS

Will always be Father Christmas for me

Absolutely ridiculous!

This is ridiculous get a life

Santa is known as Father Christmas, to use gender neutral is ridiculous and a disgrace.

Maybe we should change our description of that other well known fictional figure when attending mass 'our they, who art in heaven'

Father Christmas, Father Christmas, Father Christmas, Father Christmas, Father Christmas, Father Christmas, Father Christmas, Father Christmas, Father Christmas, Father Christmas, Father Christmas, Father Christmas, Father Christmas, Father Christmas, F...

The worlds gone mad

Isn't Father Christmas the term used in Britian The spirit of Christmas is called by many names but we all mean the same thing. No one is right or wrong. It is what comes from childhood which is some thing I feel we should be allowed to cherish.

This is what you get when you continue to celebrate mental illness all in the name of “progress”. LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

Made up story

p.C madness and just pathetic !

So what are we supposed to call his wife then?

You have to feel sorry for those with empty, meaningless lives whose only remaining aim is to bugger up everyone else's sane minds with their endless drivel about stuff like gender. If the Santa has a todger...he's Father Christmas. End of

What!!

don’t be the sun lads

What is it with people..next stage of sexual ergonomics..mother and father terms are obsolete..madness knows no boundaries where intelligence is lacking!

Does this mean that Mother Nature now has to be referred to as non binary nature ? Asking for a friend ...🤔

Free speech is dead thanks to the LGBT community.

Pathetic this has gone to far now

This is getting beyond a fucking joke now! It seems that nothing that is traditional is safe anymore. We need Thanos!!

Santa is Father Christmas’ nickname. He has always been a man. Always has been Father Christmas to me, and my children. STOP being silly 👊

So am l going to get 'slammed' for calling my father,father Why cant people just call Father Christmas what ever they want without having to change anything. Just call him what ever your comfortable with...l ❤ Father Christmas.

Ffs Father Christmas ho ho ho 😆

This is getting out of hand 😳😬😡

I hope this is fake otherwise is too stupid. Thx to the american democrats, stupidity became a trend. Soon they will give 2 ID to bipolar persons. so they feel included.

15% that’s what you get for doing a survey at a mental institution.

Ludicrous absolutely ludicrous!!! I despair.

Oh ffs

What a load of bollox.

🙄🤣

Mum breaks down as she puts down 14p on table and says 'that's all our money'Strangers have raised more than £20,000 after a homeless mum was filmed putting 14p down on a table and saying that's all she had to feed her son. While it is heartwarming to see people react in such a positive way to one woman's plight, this is not an isolated incident. Perhaps a general crowdfunding sight where the money raised can go to all those in need would have more impact.
