Yes hijacked santa and made him red to fit in with their corporate image. Before that he had no recognised colour for his clothing

The truck doesn't come anywhere near me to see it

Although I'm sure if they knew how much diet I drink, they'd make a special trip

Caused traffic chaos for miles when it turned up at a shopping park by me. What the attraction is in seeing a lorry all lit up in bright shiny lights I don't know, but thousands did

I don't get this?

It's nothing to do with Christmas, it's American marketing!

I'd rather see a nice Christmas tree personally.

The Coca Cola / Santa Claus thing is an urban myth.

The 19th century Santa was often shown wearing outfits of different colors: purple, green and blue in addition to red. This slowly faded out so that by the beginning of the 20th century the standard image of Santa Claus was a man in a red suit trimmed with white. The Coca-Cola company has often been cited for cementing the image of Santa with the colors red and white through a series of popular advertisements in the 1940's depicting Saint Nick enjoying their product (Coca-Cola's company colors are red and white). However, Santa was already well associated with these colors by that time. American artist Norman Rockwell had done a number of paintings with Saint Nick wearing red and white including A Drum for Tommy which appeared on the cover of The Country Gentleman in 1921. The truth is that by the time the Coke ads came out, Santa, in the public's mind, was already wearing only the modern version of his colors.

There ya go.... Santa was already set in his red and white long before coca cola were even around!
