Père Noël
The Hollywood Christmas Parade (formerly The Santa Claus Lane Parade) in Southern California is a seasonal tradition that somewhat competes with the Rose Parade and the Doo Dah Parade. Gene Autry wrote the well known Christmas song "Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane)." after hearing children on the Santa Claus Lane Parade route yelling "Here Comes Santa Claus!" upon glimpsing Santa in the distance.
