A little boy catches Santa in the refrigerator getting a Coca-Cola Santa, at his desk, working on his presents list — all created by Haddon Sundblom.He painted a new, more “human” Santa Claus for Coke ads and billboards all over the country. The Santa works, painted from 1931 to the late ’60s, portray a robust figure standing six feet tall — a very jovial man with twinkling eyes.Sundblom first used a retired salesman for his model. When this gentleman died, the artist searched far and wide for a new model until a friend suggested he use his own face.Probably more than anything else, Sundblom’s images of Santa Claus molded our national concept of the jolly old man, and it’s lasted through changing tastes and electronic times.“My hat’s off to to the pause that refreshes” (1931)Old Santa, busiest man in the world, takes time out for the pause that refreshes with ice-cold Coca-Cola.
