“You better watch out / You better not cry / You better not pout / I’m telling you why / Santa Claus is coming. . .
. . . to the barangay.”
This poster was produced by the US Information Service in the 1950s, I guess to remind the Filipinos that Santa Claus would always visit them as long as they stayed an ally of the United States.
Because if they chose otherwise, then they could be sure that Santa and his reindeer would never visit the Philippines ever again. . .

Santa, the great saint of Christmas from the far northern hemisphere never seems to look hot and bothered, even when he is in the Philippines, or Australia for that matter.
I agree!! And it’s also impressive how those reindeer can land on grass and dirt. They’re all such pros. 😉
