Christmas Coloring Page

Some of the earliest stories of St. Nicholas, SinterKlaus, Father Christmas or the fellow otherwise known as Santa Claus here in the U.S. have him riding a white horse instead of in a sleigh with reindeer. In some stories, the horse can fly, too!

I’ve always visualized him on a magnificent white Freisan type horse – and why he traded that in for reindeer I’ll never know!

Here’s an excellent link on the history of Santa Claus and here is the new free printable coloring page of Santa on horseback.

You may notice there is a change to the “print” link at the bottom. It now takes you to a PDF (Adobe) file which will print perfectly on an 8.5 x 11 inch page – regular paper – on any printer. Much better!

Over the next few months I’ll be working on updating the older pages (there are over 300!) to the new printable coloring pages, as well as touching them up. I like to think I’ve gotten better at this over the last five years or so and some of those old drawings make me cringe now. All of the new coloring pages will be set up like this one – so if you have any problems, comments, etc. please let me know!

Thanks!
