Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A 1973 graphic novel by Raymond Briggs. This is a very different version of Father Christmas or Santa. He doesn't live in the North Pole with Mrs. Claus, his elves and his eight tiny reindeer; instead he lives in a London townhouse with two reindeer and his cat and dog. Far from being jolly, he's grumpy and treats his job, well like a job like any other bloke. The book covers his nightly run and the labor it takes from getting his sled ready, having to deal with the cold and the snow, and tight chimneys. His final delivery on the night is none other than to HM The Queen at Buckingham Palace. As he finishes he runs into a friendly milkman who looks remarkably similar to Briggs' father.Briggs wrote a sequel in 1975 called Father Christmas Goes on Holiday where he well goes on holiday. He converts his sled into a caravan and after misadventures in camping grounds in France and Scotland, he checks into a Las Vegas Casino resort for a very long stay, until he's reminded to get back to work by a child guest.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Both books were combined into a short film with Mel Smith as the voice of Father Christmas in 1991 by the same company that made The Snowman as companion piece to the latter film; both James and the Snowman make a cameo in the film as well. | |

Adaptation Distillation: The film combines books so they both happen in the same year. The events of Father Christmas Goes on Holiday come first and his Christmas run comes after. | |

Bad Santa | |
| Father Christmas / Comicbook / int_5a71be2d | comment |
Bad Santa: Well, not really bad, but less squeaky-clean and relentlessly jolly and more grumpy than most portrayals. | |

Bowdlerisation | |
| Father Christmas / Comicbook / int_98a72851 | comment |
Bowdlerisation: When the film was released in America, Father Christmas was given a new voice actor and made less grumpy and more jolly (and more posh) to better fit American sensibilites (and for family audiences). Also all traces of the word "bloomin'" were removed. In the British version, Father Christmas' favorite present is a bottle of booze, in the American dub it's cologne. | |
