"""""Ho, ho ho", shouts the jolly Santa and he waves kindly to his fellow origami Santas, who travel by sleigh.
He himself, as you see, is on foot. He's put on his magic boots, which allow him to walk on clouds and also make reaching the daily steps goal a little easier.
Boots are made for walking, right???"""
This is an 'old' and complex origami-model (1970) and I think inspired how the real Santa was presented that time. Some people think Coca-Cola invented this figure, but I found this Info:
~~Coca-Cola did not create the legend of Santa Claus. But Coca-Cola advertising did play a big role in shaping the jolly character we know today.
Before 1931, there were many different depictions of Santa Claus around the world, including a tall gaunt man and an elf —there was even a scary Claus.
But in 1931, Coca-Cola commissioned illustrator Haddon Sundblom to paint Santa for Christmas advertisements. Those paintings established Santa as a warm, happy character with human features, including rosy cheeks, a white beard, twinkling eyes and laughter lines.
Sundblom drew inspiration from an 1822 poem by Clement Clark Moore called “A Visit from St. Nicholas” —commonly known as “Twas the Night Before Christmas".~~
