How many times is the name of Santa Claus used in The Night Before Christmas?

Answer 1

Trick question! just as the phrase ( The British are coming!) does not appear in the original poem about Paul Revere, the phrase Santa Claus is not once mentioned in the popular song-poem ( The Night Before Christmas) There are a number of problems with this narrative. the narrator is usually an adult, and adults do not go about hanging up stockings or other childish drivel, yet seems to believe in Santa Claus- who goes by Saint Nick and Saint Nicholas in the poem, which has most of the popular aspects of the Santa Claus mythology. There are eight tiny reindeer- no mention of Rudolph. Methinks kids would be better off without this impossible fantasy and I cannot go along with the Church ( Frank Church , a journalist in l897) argument that somehow Santa Claus is an indispensable part of what he called the (Internal Light ) (not eternal) of childhood. That newspaper diatribe mentions Santa Claus seven or eight times, (almost once per paragraph) Christmas Eve ONCE> God Once ( in the phrase, Thank God he exists- or lives- a reference to Santa Claus!- and nto once mentions the Nativiity of Christ Jesus. Yecch!
