The Santa Claus we know and love today is different from the Old World Santa of Europe.He was usually depicted as a thin,somewhat stern old gentleman,wearing long robes and coats.These traditional depictions of Santa were brought over to the USA by immigrants.Between Word War I and World War II,Santa began to take on the persona of the fat,jolly old elf of Clement Moore's,A Visit From Santa Claus ~ The Night Before Christmas.
