If Santa Claus was a woman I always say she’d be Merle Foster,” Gordon Sinclair, the legendary Canadian journalist and broadcaster, told readers of his Radio column in the Toronto Daily Star, in 1952.

Thanks for visiting cyprusscene.com and good luck with your blog
Thank you for the blessing.Welcome to my Christmas blog!
Thank you Sarah rose for liking my post on Hadassah Ministry, I do not like Santa as he tries to take all the glory of Christmas for himself, when it belongs to Jesus.
I’m not Canadian but I am a lover of the history of rock/pop music and know of Gordon through his single, “The Americans” in 1973. Since learning about him I’ve learned a few things about him and appreciated his tribute to America. I was pleasantly surprised to see a tribute to his words here on your blog. And because of that, I read some of your blog and enjoyed my visit here.
I’m a lover of rock history too.
And I love being nude too!
A nude Santa? Santress? Whatever … the mind boggles. And I’ll bet that sack on the shoulders is scratchy. Mind you, it might save on laundry but would require an awesome amount of scrubbing to get rid of the soot after all those chimneys. ‘Blackbeard the Santa’? Ye gods …
thank you like it.Hope it can make you happy!
Santa Sarah Rose…love it.

Beats cookies and milk any day of the year.
really cool blog with an even cooler blogger I guess….thanks for visiting mine:) merry christmas….
The best art of “-MERRY CHRISTMAS!” …..:)
Have a very Merry Christmas Santa Sarah Rose Claus! Here’s an eggnog to you. Thanks for visiting.
Warmth and peace
Sorry, Sarah but Santa was not a lady or even a woman. As you no doubt know, the historical Santa Claus is Saint Nicholas who was a Catholic Bishop in what is now Turkey. (Santa= Saint and Claus from Nicholas). Because of this there wasn’t even a Mrs. Claus as Bishops cannot be married. Why don’t you tell about the real reason for Christmas. If anyone wants to know about the date of Christmas and other traditions go to http://suite101.com/article/origins-of-christmas-and-its-traditions-a399154
Thanks for visiting my blog! And good luck with yours–it looks great!
Thanks! you too
Hi Sarah! Thanks for visiting our happy little homestead @ Stand Upon Grace! Stop on by again!!!
What a fun Christmas blog! Wishing you a Peaceful, Joyous Christmas Season filled with blessings!
~Wendy
Hi Wendy,I will.
Merry Christmas!
Yes Santa is a lady! Do you think men (of which I am one) came up with a tradition that requires so much attention to detail in the planning and preparation? Not a chance! Come on think about it. Cookies and milk? Wrong. It would be nachos and a cold beer left out if Santa were a man. Then how messed up would things get? I would be receiving an armpit hair remover for Christmas and you get a set of boxer briefs and new tie!
Santa may not be a lady, but he looks pleased with the lady stepping out of his bag.

My mom was always santa at our house… After all, who ELSE would know weather the kids have been naughty or nice?!
You can never be careful enough and Santas are not above being shysters as well. A couple of years ago over a hundred Santas were arrested in Ohio being drunk and causing affront, while in Amsterdam 2 females dressed in Santa suits were helping themselves to Ipads and jars of pickled herring. Wasn’t there a Santa who held up a yacht club in Rose Bay a couple of years ago or was that in Fremantle?
Thank you for your kind remind
Well, Saint Nicholas was evidently real enough but I’m unsure of the red suit, reindeer and “Ho, ho, ho!” in his case. And where do conifers come in? I’m guessing Santa is an amalgam of myths. In that case, if we wish to add the gender myth, who’s to gainsay that? We’ve gone in that direction already in less likely cases, surely? Saint Nicholas is for adults; Santa on the other hand, is a figure of fun (with a little moral built in) for kids…
I’ll be happy so long as most folks can still tell the difference between Santa and the Government…
Hey Sarah. Thank you for commenting on my interview and following my blog. Much appreciated.
Santa is a Lady, why not? I love this idea, Sarah!
Fun post! Thanks for the like!
Not sure I want to be mama Clause but those elf outfits are quite yummy! However, not sure they would come in extra gigantic (elves run on the tiny side) and if they did I don’t think I could stomach looking at the XXXXXXXXXXXXL on the tag every morning.
Dear MS. Santa please do not send me an elf costume for christmas
Love the picture. Thanks for reading my ‘Gay Pride’ post. Good luck with your blog.
Great post!
What a fun blog!
Lovely Christmas cheer!!! Has a wonderful Christmas!

Having fun here, and thank you for visiting me today! ~Lynda
hello Lynda
Merry Christmas!
I love the Pin-Up style model in the photo. How about a more seductive female Santa, one that is certainly different – Bettie Page. There are some awesomely kitsch photos of Bettie in Santa outfits.
x*mas cheer from sunny south africa to you santa sarah – thank you for your exuberant spreading of loveliness. LOVE this photo and love your merry take on the crazy festive season. all the best, Bx
Lady Santa in sparkly sleigh pulled by nine white reindeer – or a rotund gentleman with a big beard? I know which one I’d prefer!

well honestly i must say Santa is who we made him we thought him in our image but who knows if he actually exists but he might be well who know if he is real (im not sure i believe he could exist) but he could be anything we well anyone we just shaped him in OUR image so yes this is my opinion but i do like this blog ive been reading quite a few of them so nice job
Thanks Santa for visit my site. Merry Christmas.
Is Santa a lady? Nice challenging idea. Thanks. But I need time to readjust my gender blinkers. [From someone who tends toward the Bah Humbug tribe].
If Santa was a woman I just might still believe in her/him and defiantly sit on Santa’s lap . Merry Christmas
