In fact, many people are surprised to learn that prior to 1931, Santa was depicted as everything from a tall gaunt man to a spooky-looking elf.

Archie Lee, the D'Arcy Advertising Agency executive working with The<br>Coca-Cola<br>Company, wanted the campaign to show a wholesome Santa who was both realistic and symbolic. So<br>Coca-Cola<br>commissioned Michigan-born illustrator Haddon Sundblom to develop advertising images using Santa Claus — showing Santa himself, not a man dressed as Santa.<br>For inspiration, Sundblom turned to Clement Clark Moore's 1822 poem "<br>A Visit From St. Nicholas<br>" (commonly ca
