The eventual debate
I know what talk pages are like here, and sooner or later we are going to get into a debate about how acceptable Santa is - does he detract from the celebration of Christ's birth, influence of pagan imagery, undermining future faith in christ by giving children a myth they will have to outgrow, and so on. So, before any of that starts... please, before anyone starts debating, lets at least get the page into a good condition on the non-contriversial bits! Once the history is detailed, the links in, the details done (I want to see a list of Santa movies), then is the time for debate. NewCrusader 19:40, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

American
Is Santa Claus really an American tradition? I know that Americans have a specific take on Santa, but I believe that he is celebrated widely outside of America.
