    If Saint Nick was exclusively a Melburnian what would he be like? Mannerisms, hobbies, clothes etc.

    For me I’d like to think him and the Mrs has a time-share in Mildura, spending time fishing and when they’re not there they’re down at the Country Club for a spot of lawn bowls.

    Also he doesn’t say “Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas” he says “oi oi oi. What was that loud bang?”.

      He’d have some kind of gimmick to stand out. Perhaps a large carrot he could carry around. He’d wear footy shorts as part of his head to toe black ensemble.

      H would be a good kind man helping the homeless and setting up scholarships for children, especially girls.

      In his spare time I think he would like reading, travel, internet chatting. and protesting child abuse in the church.

          I dunno. I mean this is someone who has gone so far out of their way to avoid people they live at the North Pole and who makes sure that everyone has gone to bed before anonomously delivering presents. I thiink he’d be a total recluse.

            I don’t think he’s a recluse because he’s got elves/henchmen around him but he might be a gamer when he knocks off for the day. He likes a TV dinner too.

              Hmm, moving to the middle of nowhere with a bunch of elven henchmen. Who all dress alike and work day & night under the orders of a man who has set himself up as the sole moral judge of “naughty and nice”. Now I’m thinking cult leader.

                Also delivers lumps of coal to the ‘naughty’ - could he be supported by Big Coal? Or the fossil fuel industry at least.
