Strangely, this article completely ignores any other than New Year's watchnight. It is common in many traditions to observe watchnight services on the night before Easter Day and on Christmas Eve. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WillMcCrum (talk • contribs) 07:08, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Start[edit]

An absolutely awful article, I know; but certainly something I believe should be included. Hopefully other editors will be able to develop it somewhat. --Breadandcheese (talk) 00:59, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There may be some fact-checking to do[edit]

Snopes.com says that the claim of African American remembrances of Watchnight being related to the Emancipation Proclamation is false. See https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/watch-night/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrMalindaEB (talk • contribs) 17:59, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
