Until tonight I had assumed all Santas wore red when they were playing him. On the season finale of All Creatures Great and Small, Siegfried wore a festive green outfit as Santa Claus/Father Christmas when he was hosting the children's party. Took me by surprise but I consider it an improvement. And it was a good shade of green, not something tacky like avocado green. :lol:

Yeah! I have seen Santa wearing a green suit too , I think this past Christmas was the first time!?;) I thought it was kind of neat!:cool: Not sure if I like it better than the red? More used to the red and more traditional, but the green was nice for a change! Maybe he could alternate colors!? :)

Normally red but that green is cool. To think Hanukkah Harry came from SNL.

Yeah, I ended up voting for red ! ;)Santa in red is traditional! The green looks nice on him and I love green clothing but being there wasn't a third choice / alternate red with green Santa suits, I went with keeping Santa traditional in his red suit !:)

Yes, it is traditional, but I do like green a lot, and it totally suits Santa. Call me a person of bad taste, but I prefer green.

No, not at all ! You are not a person of bad taste! Green is a beautiful color ! I actually personally like green better than red! You should look in my closet . I have much more green clothing than red ! Just given the two choices , I chose red for Santa ! As I said before , a shame there wasn't a third option : Both/ Alternate red and green Santa suits ! ;):D

Green is a great color but I think Santa looks best in the traditional red suit. Red for Santa, Green for Santa's elves.

Yes, both would’ve been an even better choice.

Kind of surprised white-garbed Santa wasn't an option.

I heard originally Santa wore green but it was changed to red at some point. I made up a story about Santa's twin brother who wears green and lives at the South Pole

Some old postcards show Santa in purple.I think this originated in Turkey. He was thin. I prefer him red:)
