I knew Santa...A fun and very Christmassy blog post.<br />I knew Santa's image came from the poem and as that poem is American, that image of Santa is typical American. In Europe of course we are copying this image, but historically there were other Santa images.<br />Interesting about the 'bootleg' Santa. And a bi-plane in 1916! What a thoroughly modern Santa!<br /> Greetings from sunny Spain,<br /Liscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06055538730629891703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37695777.post-70007354998900608882021-12-21T10:33:07.142-05:002021-12-21T10:33:07.142-05:00Such a fun post!

I think we have just been overwhelmed with Santa and Coke ads for so many decades that it's easy to think Coke invented Santa. Thanks for sharing these Mae. Have a wonderful T day and week ahead.
