Santa Claus | Men in red
Santa Claus you know that a jolly old guy recognized all over the world but did you know Santa wasn't a fat man in red suit so this is biography.......
Before the 1860 Santa was represented as everything that jolly elf to tall gaunt man
Even in Central America Santa represented as devils figure who punishes bad children
From long time Santa exactly screaming you like enjoy.
So where to the man in red come from?
So it is the popular myth is advertisers invented the Santa we know and love but that's not true.
Actually an illustrator name Thomas Nast who first invented Santa's look to us. Thomas nast was very popular for his historical cartoons he was made elephant figured cartoon stand on US republican party he was first man who described the Santa to the Americans.
Thomas nast was hired by Harper's weekly in 1963 for making supportable cartoons to support union troops .
original picture of Santa Claus By Thomas Nast in 1863
Take a closer look to the image Santa's style was already a red cap on his head supporting classic white beard but checkout his outfit with star strap on his coat nast's first Santa wasn't the exactly that one we know today but it was close he spend the next two decades knowing that Santa's look.
Eventually landed red suited rose chicky guy we know and love.
his interpretation became the Americans Santa from there spreads across the globe.
Santa's new look showed in magazines and advertisements so Americans troops spread the image abroad .
Soon elements of nast's design could be seen in Christmas traditions all over the world.
So next time you think about Santa remember it could be in your Christmas card but thanks to Mr. Thomas Nast for this lovable guy in Red.
