Solstice means "standing still sun" in Latin since the sun seems to remain in the same spot throughout the day. It's believed the tradition of celebrating the solstice started with the fear that the fading light of the sun wouldn't return unless people kept watch and celebrated throughout the night.
The winter solstice may be the darkest day of the year, but it's not usually the coldest. Since oceans are slow to warm and cool, they still maintain some of the warmth of summer in December. The coldest days of winter usually follow a month and a half later.

Conspiracy theorists claim that Santa's iconic crimson and white ensemble actually originated with a marketing scheme by Coca-Cola in the 1930s, when the company featured a jolly, red-suited Santa Claus in its ads to boost sales during cold winter months. While a similarly outfitted Santa appeared years earlier in newspapers like The Saturday Evening Post, many agree that Coca-Cola may have had a hand in creating the Santa we know today.
