Talk:Santa Claus parade

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I need information on how far around the world the Santa Claus Parade tradition extends. silsor 02:00, Nov 21, 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Kennedy assassination

The article says: "the assassination of President Kennedy a few weeks previously". Surely this should be "days", not "weeks"? Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, which is less than a week before Thanksgiving Day.

[edit] Christmas Pageants?

Aren't Christmas Pageants the things in churches with people acting as Mary and Joseph and so forth? As in this? IMFromKathlene 05:09, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Not under the common use of the term. See Adelaide Christmas Pageant.--cj | talk 10:50, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

But look here, here, here, and on Wikipedia Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo (South Park episode) and A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas. All are showing use of "Christmas Pageant" as a play about the nativity with large casts and churches. It seems every Children's book about Christmas used that term as well, at least they did when I was growing up. People looking for a Christmas Pageant and the description of what that is are going to come to this page and be kind of confused and/or alienated. I can't find anything on Wikipedia describing the kind of play I am thinking of and it seems widespread enough to deserve its own entry. It may be the area I live in (New Mexico, USA) but the common use I'm familiar with is that of the nativity play at churches and schools and the like-- Jesus instead of Santa.
