Hey, all of these are accurate for me, but I too use Santa Claus as well as Father Christmas. I'm British, but you can't go taking Santa off me like this

Also, I never say Mum. Like, never. It's always Mam.
A number of these are wrong (although to be fair, America has a wide variety of accents and vocabulary)
Americans say both "bill" and "check"
Americans say "curtains" not "drapes" (on average, at least)
"Ground floor" and "first floor" are interchangeable in America
"A biscuit with chocolate chips." For us, that's a chocolate chip cookie. Just like we have sugar cookies and cinnamon cookies (snickerdoodles) and.. and... idk. Biscuit just sounds strange to me :)

I have never heard of snickerdoodles but by name alone they sound amazing. Much cooler than a custard cream, bourbon or pink wafer...
