Santa Claus----Coca-Cola?!?!?!

Feel surprised when my lecture told us that Santa Claus was invented by the Coca-cola Company. For most of us, we know Santa Claus is not real but why i didn't found out the relation between both of them. Jolly, with a red suit and a white beard old man + red packaging Coca-cola. When think back, it really does connected.

"Before the 1931 introduction of the Coca-cola Santa Claus created by artist Haddon Sundblum, the image of Santa ranged from big to small and fat to tall. Santa even appeared as an elf and looked a bit spooky.
Through the centuries, Santa Claus has been depicted as everything as a tall gaunt man to an elf. He has worn a bishop's robe and a Norse huntsman's animal skin. The modern-day Santa Claus is a combination of a number of the stories from a variety of countries.
From 1931 to 1964, Coca-cola advertising showed Santa delivering with toys, pausing to read a letter and enjoy a Coke, playing with children who stayed up to greet him and raiding the refrigerators at a number of homes. The original oil paintings Sundblom created were adapted for Coca-cola advertising in magazines, store displays, billboards, posters, calenders and even plush dolls. Many of those items are popular collectibles."

Twilight

Although i am not a huge fans of love movies or novels but recently i found out this movie is quite breath-taking. It is listed as my movie to watch this year and if possible, the novel too. Will i have the time to do so? Assignments and test are hunting me to death and i am desperate for more time available for me especially in this end of year. It is the time where everyone suppose to be preparing to enjoy the holiday but it seems this year is going to be different for me.

TWILIGHT is an action-packed, modern-day love story between a teenage girl and a vampire. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother re-marries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she's ever met. Edward is a vampire, but he doesn't have fangs and his family is unique in that they choose not to drink human blood. Intelligent and witty, Edward sees straight into Bella's soul. Soon, they are swept up in a passionate, thrilling and unorthodox romance. To Edward, Bella is what he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will Edward & Bella do when a clan of new vampires - James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi) and Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre) - come to town and threaten to disrupt their way of life?
