Although he may not be happy with that old fat guy in The White House, who has been naughty and nor very nice to #WeThePeople these past years, Santa Claus is still a portly, jolly, white-bearded man with spectacles and wearing a red coat with white fur collar and cuffs, white-fur-cuffed red trousers, red hat with white fur, and black leather belt and boots and carrying a bag full of gifts for children.
This image became popular in the 19th century due to the significant influence of the 1823 poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" and caricaturist and political cartoonist Thomas Nast. This image has been maintained and reinforced through song, radio, television, children's books, films, and advertising.
Each and every year kids head to their local mall and plop down on the bearded guy’s lap, tell him what they want for Christmas, and take a pix with the man they call Santa Claus.
However, due to the fact that we are in the middle of the worst pandemic in a century, the annual tradition is going to look a little bit different this year after 160 years.
While Santa Claus will still be coming to town this year, hitting malls across the country and even the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, there will be little person-to-person Why is Santa Claus not coming to Macy’s this year?
