Ha! The Americans make it even worse with the elf on the shelf which I only heard of last year.

I've not heard of him/her/it, which perhaps is just as well.

Apparently it's a toy elf parents put on a shelf to watch kids in their absence and report back to Santa. Of course kids loathe them. A friend in England did however post a photo of a colleague dressed as one so they must be making inroads there.

Fight all US influence, I say!

Absolutely! :) I would prefer to say "Father Christmas" rather than "Santa Claus", but I didn't want to risk baffling any American readers of my LJ.
