santa claus january 1 1881 harper s weekly from wikimedia our views of santa claus owe a great deal also to coca cola advertising campaigns coca cola first noted santa s use of the drink in a 1922 campaign to suggest coke was a year round drink 100 years after the publication of livingston s poem the company s on line archives gives details in 1930 artist fred mizen painted a department store santa in a crowd drinking a bottle of coke the ad featured the world s largest soda fountain which was located in the department store of famous barr co in st louis mo mizen s painting was used in print ads that christmas season appearing in the saturday evening post in december 1930 1936 coca cola santa cardboard store display 1942 original oil painting they remembered me archie lee the d arcy advertising agency executive working with the coca cola company wanted the next campaign to show a wholesome santa as both realistic and symbolic in 1931 the coca cola company commissioned michigan born illustrator haddon sundblom to develop advertising images using santa claus showing santa himself not a man dressed as santa as mizen s work had portrayed him for inspiration sundblom turned to clement clark moore s 1822 poem a visit from st nicholas commonly called twas the night before christmas moore s description of st nick led to an image of santa that was warm friendly pleasantly plump and human for the next 33 years sundblom painted portraits of santa that helped to create the modern image of santa an interpretation that today lives on in the minds of people of all ages all over the world santa claus is a controversial figure debates still rage among parents about the wisdom of allowing the elf into the family s home and under what conditions theologians worry that the celebration of christmas is diluted by the imagery other faiths worry that the secular cultural impact of santa claus damages their own faiths few other faiths have such a popular figure and even atheists generally give gifts and participate in christmas rituals such as putting up a decorated tree for over 100 years santa claus has been a popular part of commercial cultural and religious life in america has any other icon endured so long or so well coca cola s film the legend of coca cola and santa claus ________________________ below from the university of toronto library s representative poetry online major henry livingston jr 1748 1828 account of a visit from st nicholas 1 twas the night before christmas when all thro the house 2 not a creature was stirring not even a mouse 3 the stockings were hung by the chimney with care 4 in hopes that st nicholas soon would be there 5 the children were nestled all snug in their beds 6 while visions of sugar plums danc d in their heads 7 and mama in her kerchief and i in my cap 8 had just settled our brains for a long winter s nap 9 when out on the lawn there arose such a clatter 10 i sprang from the bed to see what was the matter 11 away to the window i flew like a flash 12 tore open the shutters and threw up the sash 13 the moon on the breast of the new fallen snow 14 gave the lustre of mid day to objects below 15 when what to my wondering eyes should appear 16 but a miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein deer 17 with a little old driver so lively and quick 18 i knew in a moment it must be st nick 19 more rapid than eagles his coursers they came 20 and he whistled and shouted and call d them by name 21 now dasher now dancer now prancer and vixen 22 on comet on cupid on dunder and blixem 23 to the top of the porch to the top of the wall 24 now dash away dash away dash away all 25 as dry leaves before the wild hurricane fly 26 when they meet with an obstacle mount to the sky 27 so up to the house top the coursers they flew 28 with the sleigh full of toys and st nicholas too 29 and then in a twinkling i heard on the roof 30 the prancing and pawing of each little hoof 31 as i drew in my head and was turning around 32 down the chimney st nicholas came with a bound 33 he was dress d all in fur from his head to his foot 34 and his clothes were all tarnish d with ashes and soot 35 a bundle of toys was flung on his back 36 and he look d like a peddler just opening his pack 37 his eyes how they twinkled his dimples how merry 38 his cheeks were like roses his nose like a cherry 39 his droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow 40 and the beard of his chin was as white as the snow 41 the stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth 42 and the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath 43 he had a broad face and a little round belly 44 that shook when he laugh d like a bowl full of jelly 45 he was chubby and plump a right jolly old elf 46 and i laugh d when i saw him in spite of myself 47 a wink of his eye and a twist of his head 48 soon gave me to know i had nothing to dread 49 he spoke not a word but went straight to his work 50 and fill d all the stockings then turn d with a jerk 51 and laying his finger aside of his nose 52 and giving a nod up the chimney he rose 53 he sprung to his sleigh to his team gave a whistle 54 and away they all flew like the down of a thistle 55 but i heard him exclaim ere he drove out of sight 56 happy christmas to all and to all a good night online text copyright 2005 ian lancashire for the department of english university of toronto published by the web development
