Wikipedia Word Count

I did a word count for the Wikipedia entries for four popular December celebrations. Here are the results:

Kwanzaa - 2500
Festivus - 2966
Christmas - 5626
Hanukah - 7010

I figured Christmas would have been #1, and honestly I figured there would have been more on Festivus.

It's because no one knows when Hanuka is or how to spell it!

Not sure that's a fair comparison. When Wikipedia entries get too big, there's usually a push to split them into smaller entries.

As there are now three different spellings on this site, I second that ;-)
