Cailte asks:
<<< say, how far back does the image of santa claus or saint
nicholas go... as we might see it or in period.
we have had several kings and queens at our midwinters
dress in red with white fut trim. sometimes i am reminded
of the finale of 'white christmas' when i see them, but is
there something historical to tweak the collective modern
consciousness? >>>
And the Great Oz responds... er, okay wrong movie. Wrong Script!
