Santa Clausmas: Difference between revisions

** [[Irony|Ironically]], it's now possible to decorate your house entirely with Peanuts-themed Christmas merchandise, including an entire line of plastic figures recreating the deeply spiritual moments of the special, and even a [[Comically Missing the Point|plastic replica of the tree]] that Charlie Brown picked out specifically because it was the [[Aluminum Christmas Trees|only real tree in the lot]].

** The later Christmas-set ''Peanuts'' specials of [[The Nineties]] and the [[Turn of the Millennium]] are more focused on gift-giving, general winter activities, etc., but do acknowledge the religious side of the holiday. Two of them have the characters participating in Nativity plays/assemblies, and Sally wants to know who "the star" was that the Wise Men followed in ''Charlie Brown's Christmas Tales''.

** As in Jesus?

* ''[[South Park]]'' plays this straight by making Mr. Hanky the Christmas Poo, a Christmas Spirit in the vein of [[Frosty the Snowman]]. There is an Easter Episode wherein the secret message behind the Easter Bunny, hidden from you by [[Corrupt Church|the eeevul Vatican]], is uncovered.

== Real Life ==

* Japan at large practices the commercial holiday of Christmas, but only 2 percent of the population is Christian. Of course, they practice it [[Christmas in Japan|somewhat differently than everyone else]]; one of their Christmas Traditions is eating Kentucky Fried Chicken, which is treated as something of a "special event" delicacy in Japan thanks to KFC's marketing and Japan's lack of turkeys.
