The iconic look of Santa was made by a political cartoonist named Thomas Nast in the 1800's. He is also the man who invented the elephant as a symbol for the GOP and donkey for the Democrats.

Coke started using Santa in the 20's.

Quite a contrasting look to the REAL St.Nicholas of Myra

Santa was a bada** - he punched the heresiasch Arius during a council!
