Interesting stuff Willow. I didn't know the colour of Santa's outfit was decided by a Coca-Cola ad.

Well said Willow, Santa is a creation of an evil corporation out for tooth rotting world domination.......

.....but it tastes so nice!!!!!

Excellent Willow,

Having once lived in the very far North I've heard another version but we'll leave that for now as the folks who told me it still firmly believe in Trolls too.

I do look forward to the "Holidays Are Coming" advert on TV though, it kinda sets the scene.

We're all ready and waiting for your next fact (and your lovely picture).

This is what Wiki says on that subject....

Since its conception in 1994 by Judith Donath, the technology behind the E-Card has changed significantly. One technical aspect that has remained mostly constant is the delivery mechanism: the e-mail received by the recipient contains not the E-card itself, but an individually coded link back to the publisher's web site that displays the sender's card exactly as it was originally configured.

I couldn't find anything specific to Christmas E-cards but I think it's safe to say that it would be the same year, probably in static form rather than animated.
