Out of all of these pic's its a shame that no one can create a decent Santa or Mrs Clause with what we have to work with so right now I'm having to go with Frosty the Snowman, Jack Frost and the Angel as being the top three out of all of them. But please everyone keep trying like I am because one of us just might create something really great.

Define decent, the only piece I really lack for a Santa is a fir coat.
The parka kind of works for that, but a coat (like the windbreaker) would make his belly bulge a bit more pronounced.

Neither the parka nor the windbreaker are correct for Santa's coat. Santa's coat should fasten down the middle, be belted with a thick black belt and have white fur (fir is a tree) edging -and- stretch to lower than the belt.
There are no coats that fit this description in the CO tailor. As you say, most everything else you can do, but the coat is the most iconic part of Santa's outfit. Without it, he simply doesn't look right. That's why I eventually gave up and did the 'alternative' Santa.
I'm pretty anally retentive when it comes to my costumes and I like things to be exactly right. I decided that I'd rather do an alternative Santa well than a 'normal' Santa inaccurately.

Don't be silly, this is the 21st century, Santa wouldn't have fur, it's too un-PC.
Typos aside, I would argue that his hat is the most iconic peace of apparel he has, seeing as it is the most consistent one. But even the hat has several different variations.
For this contest I thought I would only award the top 3 toons since we had a lot of similar ideas. They are:

This toon was a fan favorite in my household. It is a very good representation of a tin soldier. Youve got the perfect hat and using the military tights design works perfect. I think the face is what made it really shine to me. By using the metal (shiny), rosy cheeks, mustache/beard combo with the big deer caught in headlight eyes really drives home the look. Great job Mariel!
Thank you, sounds like you asked your family on this contest, so it actually means something
#2. Robo Santa by megaerik00

I am kicking my self for not thinking of this first. I love robot versions of characters. In fact, for one of my Nemesiseseseses (sp?), I made a robot version of Takofanes. Santa is an icon. For this type of costume to work you really need to get the look right. I can not see how you could make this toon look any more like Santa. I like how the shoulder pads are used to simulate white felt on a coat and the bracers to make the robot hands look like gloves. Nice job!
Thanks for the kind words and the 2nd place spot:D
