Oh absolutely. Don’t disagree. My original point was the madness that the world follows through with the elves and red Santa sleigh thing.
I’ve not researched into when those things started happening. I was just assuming around the 50s after the war. Obviously Xmas has been around in some for a lot of humans existence.
I specifically was thinking about what parents lie to kids about. I’m not sure exactly what that is though.
The red guy was the 50s I think. Before that he was green and I think I bit more st Nicholas. But it’s hard to nail down since there’s likely very few accounts of things. It wasn’t a year where the world came to an agreement on what Santa was and how it should be portrayed. That would have been even more bonkers
I strongly suggest you look into the history of Coca-Cola and Santa. There is actually quite a lot of known history in regards to that particular companies representation of Santa and how big a part Santa played in their holiday advertising. If I recall correctly, the red was eventually settled on for his outfit because it evoked the color of a Coca-Cola bottle.
No I know coke had a big impact but I mean other best haven’t been written down. That’s the most evidenced bit. Maybe I’m just wrong. Seems to happen often.
