1652 in which he is threatened by a Protestant presumably because of his Catholic (and maybe pagan) associations.
1836 in which he carries the Wassail bowl made of maple wood and rides on a goat - two quite pagan attributes.
1843 a Bacchanalian spirit of a rowdy Xmas party.
1847 He is the third ghost from Dicken's Xmas Carol - a figure who is essentially Father Christmas.
