Santa in the Off Season

Who knew he was a real Knickerbocker from Olde Manhattan Towne? I was led to believe he lived at the North Pole. From the December 22, 1923 issue of Judge magazine, recently re-discovered in my basement.

There is no explaining how funny my kids found this to be. Really, Santa without a beard, dressed like he's going to have drinks at the club with Sir Topham Hatt.
