Lots of people think that Santa’s ‘look’ was invented by the Coca Cola Company, but Santa has been wearing suits with his traditional red and white colors for a long time! Although their Christmas advertising campaigns of the 1930s and 40s were key to popularising the image, Santa can be seen in his modern form decades before Coca Cola’s illustrator Haddon Sundblom got to work.
In honor of this Memorial Day Weekend, I’d like to share with you a picture from 100 years ago. Have an enjoyable holiday weekend, and take time to remember all those who fought and died so that we may be free.
