These are some of the earliest depictions of Father Christmas, formerly Old Christmas, Sir Christëmas or Gregorie Christmas.
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.
He was not fat, he didn't wear red, no reindeer, no sleigh, no presents for children. Just a drunken jolly man with a beard who sometimes rides a goat
