There are lots of thin depictions out there. My husband loves the Old World looking Santa Claus' figurines that I like to decorate with. The figurines and photos of those versions of Santa are all thin and he is usually shown beside a donkey or horse carrying the toys. Of course my favorite version of Santa was in a TV ad that some company or the other put out a few years ago if I am remembering correctly. Anyway, Santa was a hot muscular male model in a very nice red suit and tie.
