Bit More Christmas Facts I Found

Check out this christmas fact. It seems to me that half of it is not necesseraly true, cause it sound really weird. But who knows... )

  • If you received all of the gifts in the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas", you would receive 364 presents.
  • Holly berries are poisonous.
  • Coca Cola was the first beverage company to use Santa for a winter promotion.
  • "The Nutcracker" is the most famous Christmas ballet.
  • Electric lights for trees were first used in 1895.
  • "Rudolph" was actually created by Montgomery Ward in the late 1930's for a holiday promotion. The rest is history.
  • Clearing up a common misconception, in Greek, X means Christ. That is where the word "X-Mas" comes from. Not because someone took the "Christ" out of Christmas.
