There were many variations of costume design until 1931 and the advertising campaign of Coca Cola. The poem of 1823 and cartoonist interpretation of Nast in 1863 coincided with the green gowned Father Christmas of Charles Dickens’ John Leech 1843 illustrated“Christmas Carol”, an image highly popular in UK and depicted on many Christmas cards ( see https://www.google.ie/search?hl=en&s...82BSc#imgdii=_)

The influence of Dickens on Christmas traditions is still evident.
The problem with that, of course, is that it isn't Father Christmas.
