Coca-Cola did not invent the white and red Santa. This is a myth. http://www.snopes.com/holidays/christmas/santa/cocacola.asp

Hello there, That was highly entertaining - thank you very much. Evocative photographs and wonderful music. Just one thing to note: The Dutch 'Santa' is named Sinterklaas, and the festival bearing his name is celebrated on December 5. He arrives from Spain sometime in November (simultaneously, in all cities and towns of Holland). Blessed Christmas, Ewout de Gelder
