Description
Santa Claus, also known as Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, or simply "Santa" is a legendary and mythological figure who, in some cultures, is presented as bringing gifts on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day or on his feast day, December 6.
The legend may have its basis in hagiographical tales concerning the historical figure of Saint Nicholas. The popular North American form Santa Claus is derived from the Dutch Sinterklaas, which in turn is a contracted form of Sint Nicolaas (Saint Nicholas). However, the Dutch Sinterklaas is depicted as being very different from Santa Claus in many ways. Santa Claus has a suit that comes in many colors depending on the country. The most common depiction (red with white cuffs, collar, and black leather belt) became the more popular image in the United States in the 19th century due to the significant influence of Thomas Nast.In the mid-20th Century a series of Coca-Cola advertisements featuring a Santa Claus drawn rotund and jovial by artist Haddon Sundblom popularized Nast's depiction.

Questo è un meraviglioso e molto creativo lavoro Orietta, in lui ti respiri lo spirito natalizio nel quale i bambini aspettano per Santa e per i suoi regali, e nel quale i maggiori aspettano che la nascita di Gesù porti la pace e la fraternità a tutti gli uomini di buona volontà....!!!!
