Coca-Cola actually invented the image of the modern Santa Claus for a advertising campaign in 1931.
Thatīs pretty much all i know about the legend of Santa.

Here in Austria we have a so called "Christ Kindl" , translated - "christ-child".
i remember my grandmother saying: "This year there wonīt be any presents, the russians shot the christ-child"

I think there was a real santa clause but not by that name.

golden child 12.21.2006 04:29 AM

SynthethicalY 12.21.2006 04:31 AM

In our country we have Sinterklaas which is practically the same as santa claus.
Sinterklaas really did excist. He was some priest from Spain who brought presents to children. And when he died this was the way of honorering him.

Wow that must be the crappiest sentence I ever wrote.

Trasher02 12.21.2006 05:56 AM

I think he only likes cookies.

Not only that, he wore green before Coca Cola made him a corporate whore in red.

I LOVE a crappy Christmas joke!

What did Mrs. Christmas say to Father Christmas when the weather was bad?
