EDITORS COMMENTS
December 1951: A festive scene outside a bustling department store is disrupted by an unexpected argument between two men dressed as Father Christmas. Amused onlookers gather around as one Santa, with a mischievous grin, tears off the beard of the other, declaring, "You are an imposter, sir!" The crowd's bemused expressions reflect the unexpected turn of events. This humorous cartoon captures the playful spirit of the holiday season, where even Santa Claus isn't immune to the occasional disagreement or disguise. The argument between the two Santas could be the result of a misunderstanding, a friendly prank, or perhaps a more serious matter. Regardless, the scene adds a touch of amusement to the bustling holiday shopping scene. This historical image, with its charming cartoon style, offers a delightful glimpse into the past and the lighter side of the holiday season.
