Merry Christmas

Magnum Photographers

Who is Santa Claus? In China "Dun Che Lao Ren," in Sweden "Juletomten". In the USA there is an urban legend that the Coca Cola Company invented the white and red suit. In Italy he is a skinnier and more regal looking version of Santa Claus. All around the world Santa Claus is celebrated with different rituals.

Thomas Nast, Harper's Weekly, during Civil War years, is credited with introducing the view of Santa Claus that we have today, including the use of red and white.

Cool. Just one thing, Santa Claus is not called "Juletomten" in Sweden — it's "Jultomten"! Merry Christmas to everyone!

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
