Santa Is Coming Through The Chimney. It is an old German holiday greeting, shows how Santa Claus, or St. nick looked in 19th. century.  Santa's costume has always been predominantly red, but different illustrations of the poem "Night Before Christmas" contain some changes reflective of the time period. From 1880 until 1930, Santa is featured wearing a long, Father Christmas-style coat. A 1958 version of the poem shows a bald Santa without hat — a rarity, as Santa is almost always shown wearing a cap. In the 1960s, Santa's clothing became even more representative of popular culture. Neon oranges and acid greens prevail, while Santa is seen soaring through the sky in his hot-pink sleigh.
