No because we don't have mall Santas. It's a product of corporatism and capitalism.

    Do you think corporatism and capitalism only exist in the northern hemisphere?

    Do you think mall Santas exist everywhere, or do you realise that different cultures have different traditions?

    You have malls and shopping centres? I thought they were the same thing. Whats the difference?

    There's no functional difference, we just use both terms. It's a bit arbitrary, but generally once a mall is a mall we stick with that and vice versa. E.g. "Westfield St Lukes" is known as "St Lukes mall" colloquially by pretty much everyone.

    No, but I'd wager there's at least one mall in the southern hemisphere that employs at least one Santa, making your assertion incorrect.

    That's not really "everywhere". Not all 180-200 countries have them.

    I never said they were "everywhere" that was your goal post. I'm only saying they exist in the southern hemisphere as well as the northern hemisphere. If you're trolling, you're bad at it.
