    Urban Legends Reference Pages: Coca-Cola Invents Santa

    Quoted: This legend is not true. Although some versions of the Santa Claus figure still had him attired in various colors of outfits past the beginning of the 20th century, the jolly, ruddy, sack-carrying Santa with a red suit and flowing white whiskers had become the standard image of Santa Claus by the 1920s, several years before Sundlom drew his first Santa illustration for Coca-Cola.
    ..
    Coca-Cola certainly helped make Santa Claus one of the most popular men in America, but they didn't invent him.

      Thomas Nast first drew Santa Claus as we visualize him today in the 1860s... and I believe he lived in Morristown, NJ. Yeah, NJ!
