Santa Claus beats Jesus – at least during Christmas
Santa Claus has been mentioned 2083 times in Norway's newspapers, on- and offline, this December, compared to Jesus, who's only been mentioned 675 times. However, the latter has a longer "season" and has been mentioned about 3,000 times as often as Santa during the entire year, according to Propaganda (measured via Norwegian search engine Sesam and A-tekst, the Norwegian equivalent of Lexis Nexis – both are set-up to only track national websites and media outlets).
Not that I really needed to know this, but hey, someone out there might find it interesting (for the record I should also state that Propaganda was one of my employers this year, but I now work for a competing media site).
