Reply to comment by liquid_at in TIL that the narrative that Coca-Cola designed the modern Santa Claus as part of an advertising campaign is not true, because Coca-Cola did start using Santa in advertising in 1933. But Santa had been portrayed almost exclusively in red from the early 19th century by giuliomagnifico

David Sedaris has an absolutely amazing story about dutch Santa. Go on YouTube and look up "David Sedaris - 6 to 8 Black Men"
