“While it is true that Coca-Cola popularized the red-suited Santa in a 1930’s ad campaign, the original image of a man with twinkling eyes and white beard was drawn in 1862 for Harper’s Weekly by Thomas Nast, the noted caricaturist, who was a German immigrant. Germany has its own version of Santa, known as Weihnachtsman, or Christmas man.”
