At the time of the year unless more consumerist consumerism of the past lived, it might take a few notes on one of the most related to that of the gifts, the ostentation, gluttony and waste. Nicholas
-not necessarily that of Bari, was a gentleman sky centuries ago in the Nordic countries, offering small gifts to children who were well behaved. Although today it would be impossible due to relentless Ministry of Gender, the fact is that, at that time, Scandinavian children were genuine efforts and competed to be the most good. In other words, the system worked.
As the centuries went by, this healthy habit was extended to southern Europe with minor modifications, and the figure in particular was taking shape furry elf in Germany, Belgium Fruit religious or Bishop Italian in the Netherlands. While nearly all latitudes of the world had always been a figure in popular culture like the versions are closer to the Christian religion was slowly being fixed and strengthened in various regions of Europe.
Thus, in the seventeenth century, the Dutch came to America to found New Amsterdam, in the end the city's most important, influential and prosperous world and thus brought with them their Sinterklaas to bring gifts for Christmas and have a little less of least their longed Netherlands. The English, not to be outdone, they were, not having a common figure that takes them gifts for everyone in the cold winter, took over this sprite and name, anglicized as Santa Claus and bringing it to reality and away from pagan myths, was given apriencia of plump and jolly old man. The reindeer were kept as respect for copyright and was prevented from traveling in a Ford T .
Thus evolved our good man until the 1930 when The Coca-Cola decided to give great blow, putting his signature short holiday for posterity. It was Atlanta's own company, when there was not a large multinational company, which popularized the now legendary red winter set with white sheep, a red cap with a tassel and a thick black belt buckle with matching leather boots and bombed American citizens with their appearances in movies and television. Kept out of respect, the big white beard, good character and his reindeer-drawn carriage.
The rest, after having been exported to Europe through the expansion of the company, it was possible to adapt the name in some countries like France, where he spent to be called Father Christmas (Father Christmas , literally, taking pride in their secular secular Republic) , and got introduced in neighboring countries such as Spain or Italy, giving rise to what is now overwhelms us, year after year, from televisions and windows . Though I never fell too well, I have great respect for this figure: a classic of our time and civilization, while it is true that perfectly symbolizes this fudge inequalities of the world, no longer a historical and obvious example of that marketing has not been invented now. Far from it.
