RALEIGH- Santa Claus wass fine at a North Carolina Christmas parade. But Mrs. Claus had to stay away.
Organizers of the Raleigh parade said that they were just following policy and children would be confused if there were two people in the Saturday parade in Santa suits.
John Odom says organizers even discouraged parade watchers from wearing Santa hats so everyone's attention was on the real St. Nick.
Mrs. Claus isn't happy. Debra Goldman says she was allowed to don her gray wig and long red dress last year as she walked with the sheriff.
Odom says organizers didn't know Goldman was dressing as Mrs. Claus last year. This year, she sent out a press release.
