He was then Americanised into the large fat bellied furry red and white coat wearing SantaBritish and Dutch versions of the gift-giver merged further. For example, in Washington Irving's History of New York (1809), Sinterklaas was Americanized into "Santa Claus" (a name first used in the American press in 1773)[25] but lost his bishop's apparel, and was at first pictured as a thick-bellied Dutch sailor with a pipe in a green winter coat. Irving's book was a lampoon of the Dutch culture of New York, and much of this portrait is his joking invention.
True, Coke werent the first to depict him in a red suit, but my point still remains of how the Traditional "Santa" has been changed/bastardised over time

mages of Santa Claus were further popularized through Haddon Sundblom's depiction of him for The Coca-Cola Company's Christmas advertising in the 1930s. The popularity of the image spawned urban legends that Santa Claus was invented by The Coca-Cola Company or that Santa wears red and white because they are the colors used to promote the Coca-Cola brand.[35] Historically, Coca-Cola was not the first soft drink company to utilize the modern image of Santa Claus in its advertising—White Rock Beverages had already used a red and white Santa to sell mineral water in 1915 and then in advertisements for its ginger ale in 1923.[36][37][38] Earlier still, Santa Claus had appeared dressed in red and white and essentially in his current form on several covers of Puck magazine in the first few years of the 20th century.

Re: Hands up if you never felt like unplugging those loudspeakers.
Yep, the village locals think that playing their music full tilt boogie is a public service. I generally dislike all weddings anyway. I went to mine and that's a lifetime quota. But they rent huge speakers and generators since the local electricity is too weak to drive them. As part of the package deal the renter throws in a few dozen cds/dvds that have been played several thousand times already and sound like it. Then to add to this distortion the bass is jacked up beyond the fuck you level and my sleepless body is assaulted by sympathetic vibrations and volume. And have you seen them dance to, oh say gangsta rap from Long Beach? Definitely not born to boogie they do some ancient handjive with smiles pasted on their faces and no body parts touching while the discordant recording is laying down some heavy"yo mama" rap. Welcome to the sleepless K of W, barangse.
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.
