But Santa had been portrayed almost exclusively in red from the early 19th century by giuliomagnifico I’m not sure if this article is completely true. I remember an old Christmas ornament my parents had that was from the 70’s of Santa dressed in green. I think from the 80’s onwards Santa is depicted wearing only red. Permalink 0
