| Jun 12, 2011 at 8:43 | comment | added | Oliver_C | @Martin - Good point about Europe, especially since Santa Claus is (at least partially) based on the dutch Sinterklaas. In Austria there have been complaints that the american Weihnachtsmann is replacing the more traditional Christkind. | |
| Jun 12, 2011 at 7:16 | comment | added | Martin Scharrer | Good answer, but a little too USA sided. I'm quite sure, that no or not many Civil War cartoons from Thomas Nast made it to Europe. There the Coca-Cola ads were most likely the only exposure to the red Santa (in Germany actually the similar Weihnachtsmann, engl. "Chrismas-Man") and therefore it wouldn't be red in Europe if it wouldn't be for Coca-Cola. | |
