You're both wrong; the North Pole is in Alaska.

Again, take that up with the Finns. I just report 'em, I don't make the decisions.

No No No - Santa Clause - traditionally - wears green.

It was only a certain purveyor of adulterated fizzy water who depicted the anthropomorphic personification of the midwinter festival in red apparel.

In the Christmas decorations at home, way back in the mists of time, there were two glass ornaments - the survivors of a set of six, which were of Santa Clause - one with a sack of toys at his feet, and the other carrying the sack on his back. His robe was a deep forest green edged with white fur.

The robe is box pleated around the back, ankle length and topped by a shoulder cape and hood, likewise edged with white fur.

I supose that you could go with a tartan of green and white with some red, for a Christmas small kilt, but Youletide great kilts I think would have to be just green and white.

All the suggestions sound good. Here's a shot from last year's Alexandria's Scottish Christmas Walk. The tartan is Irish American.

I've also worn a great kilt in the "Rob Roy MacGregor" tartan, which worked well.
