#BLOGMAS2020 (DAY 1)-FATHER CHRISTMAS: FROM SAINT TO POP CULTURE
We start this #blogmas2020 series with the man, the myth and the legend himself, Father Christmas. Ah yes! The white-bearded, fat man in the red suit who sneaks in the chimney and brings us gifts and rides a sleigh with reindeers.He is hard to miss, physically and socially, from live meet and greets at the mall, to the ever famous coca-cola adverts, there isn't a person alive that doesn't know who he is. What many people don't know, is that his popularity is based on traditions associated with St Nicholas, who was a christian saint in the 4th Century. This post briefly explores the legend and the evolution that is Santa Claus.
