Some people think that Jolly Old Saint Nicholas needs a makeover. Should Santa be female? What about a gender neutral Santa?

What’s going on: According to CBS News, a free logo design company called GraphicSprings recently conducted a survey in which it asked participants how they would “rebrand” or “modernize” Santa Claus’ look, transportation and gender.

Gender: The majority of survey respondents stated that Santa’s gender should not change. A total of 72 percent of people said Santa should still be male.

According to the survey results, just over 10 percent of people said that they think Santa should be female.

Newsweek reported that just over 17 percent responded that they thought he should be gender neutral.
