ENFJ (2w3)
Father Christmas personality type is ENFJ, not ISTJ. The reason it’s not ISTJ is that while they do appear to be almost exclusively found in the role, they are actually only drawn to the role in certain circumstances. The ISTJ doesn’t necessarily want to be Santa Claus, they just like being Santa Claus when there is no one else around, usually at a holiday party or a family gathering. The ISTJ is not a warm and fuzzy type, but it is the type which wants to get the job done without creating chaos and disorder.
For the ISTJ, being Santa Claus is not nearly as much fun as it might appear; they want to get their work done and go home. If a child starts to make a fuss because Santa left their presents on the floor of their room, the ISTJ will respond by taking the child to the toy store at the mall. For the ISTJ, this is preferable to playing Santa Claus when there are no other adults around.
Although Santa Claus is not an ideal personality type for Santa Claus, it’s probably the type that should be playing Santa Claus; so long as they have no other adults around.
Father Christmas is the traditional English name for the personification of Christmas. Although now known as a Christmas gift-bringer, and typically considered to be synonymous with Santa Claus, he was originally part of a much older and unrelated English folkloric tradition. The recognisably modern figure of the English Father Christmas developed in the late Victorian period, but Christmas had been personified for centuries before then. English personifications of Christmas were first recorded in the 15th century, with Father Christmas himself first appearing in the mid 17th century in the aftermath of the English Civil War. The Puritan-controlled English government had legislated to abolish Christmas, considering it papist, and had outlawed its traditional customs. Royalist political pamphleteers, linking the old traditions with their cause, adopted Old Father Christmas as the symbol of 'the good old days' of feasting and good cheer.
