When I started doing the Holly Fair, I started collecting St. Nick figures, and I lean toward the Bishop of Myra, or Victorian Father Christmas look, with the long robe, rather than the Thomas Nast, jolly old fat man, design. The first one I bought was a hand-painted wooden one, and he has a long light blue robe; it is beautiful.
Well, this costume needs to be more Victorian. But the guy who did it last time had his own costume made. It was bright red and looked more like a Cardinal than Father Christmas.
