Give him the new bed anyway. Maybe if he sleeps more he’ll get into less trouble.

Coca Cola did not invent Santa, that is a tradition that goes much farther back, under many names. They were the first to USE Santa for advertising purposes.

Getting Santa mixed up with Jesus? Funny! A similar joke was also used in the Boondocks comics strip!

The connection between Coca-Cola and Santa Claus is that Coke’s enormously-popular and long-running Santa advertizing series is responsible for the tradition that Santa’s suit is red and white (Coca-Cola’s signature colors). Prior to Coke’s campaign, there was no particular color scheme for Santa’s suit.
