Santa Claus is fatherly but old. Appropriate. Because Christmas has a family sweetness about it, but it also is fleeting.

Great open spaces covered in snow under a vast and starlit night. That is also appropriate. I have noticed that at moments of great family closeness, everyone else seems a million miles away.
