Modern political correctness and rampant nannyism is revising history. Many contemporary renditions of Santa Claus have removed the pipe. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone re-writes "The Night Before Christmas" to remove the stump of a pipe clenched tight in his teeth.
"The 25 Days of Santa" will be a series of old portrayals of Santa Claus, one each day through Christmas Day. No commentary, just pictures.
The first item up is from 1901.
