It's sadder how the older I get, the less work I have to do to fit myself into a Santa Claus picture...

This ad is from the back cover of National Geographic (December, 1954). Haddon Sundblom was both artist and model!

Happy Holidays from me, my family, and corporate America! This image of Santa Claus is from 1936 (probably painted by Haddon Sundblom), and it is Coca-Cola's version of the character that has stuck in our national consciousness ever since. (Although I think he may be a bit more fit now.) I think this may have originally been a tin advertising sign, and here it is: s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/b0/b5/ba/b0b5baeae...

Happy Holidays, everyone!
