Vintage Style St Nicholas (Santa Claus) Christmas Plaque

The original St Nicholas (Santa Claus) dress was tan or brown; he was a Bishop of Greek descent and worked mostly in Turkey. Aside from the many things he did, for which he was called the "wonderworker", he had the habit of secretly leaving gifts for people. This gave rise to the legendary character of Sinterklaas (in the Netherlands and Germany) and St Nicholas in the rest of Europe. In most countries of Europe, he wears a blue suit. The red suit version is attributed to Thomas Nast, working for an important magazine (can't name it for copyright reasons I guess!) in the United States in the 1860s, and is known as the father of American Cartoonists. The Santa in red suit has been since then, the icon we all know. Customise this art to your liking, or leave it as it is :)
