Suggested correction: Grandsanta's portrait is shown in the halls of the North Pole with the dates 1902-1941 (with Malcom having done 71 missions from 1941). Therefore he did 39 missions. That makes for a total of 109 years, meaning he was 27 when he took over from his own father.

Correction: The Coca-Cola Santa advertisements began in 1931 and before that he was wearing red, too - noted in 1927 in the New York Times.
