FACTS ON CHRISTMAS
It is celebrated as the anniversary of the birth of Jesus Christ. It’s a public holiday in many of the world’s nations. It is celebrated religiously by a majority of Christians, as well as culturally by many non-Christians. It forms an integral part of the holiday season. There are some facts about Christmas that we don’t know about. In this blog I’ll mentions some unknown facts about Christmas
Some of the facts are:-
BACKGROUND OF CHRISTMAS
December 25 was originally a pagan celebration: Nobody knows when Jesus of Nazareth was born and nobody celebrated his birthday for hundreds of years. December 25 was co-opted from pagan rites connected with the winter solstice.
The nativity story resulted in several wars: In the first few centuries of the Christian era, controversy over whether or not Jesus was divine at birth created political and social unrest that frequently burst out into full scale warfare.
Mistletoe kissing originated with fertility rites: The hanging sprig is a very ancient symbol of virility and therefore anybody standing beneath signals that he or she is sexually available.
SANTA
Santa Claus originated in a newspaper ad: Far from being quaint medieval legend, Santa Claus first appeared as a recognizable entity in a newspaper ad for toys and “gift books” in the middle of19th century.
Modern day Santa Claus: Our modern day Santa Claus has to travel at more than the speed of light to deliver gifts to all the kids in the world and he would have 31 hours on the day to get his favourite job done.
Different names of SANTA CLAUS: The different names of Santa Claus around the world include- Kriss Kringle in Germany, Le Bafana in Italy, Pere Noel in France and Deushka Moroz in Russia.
Santa has a real postal zip code- H0H 0H0 : Every year millions of letters are addressed to Santa from kids all over the world. The postal workers at the Canadian Post Office also started answering some of these letters.
SEIGH & REINDEER
Santa Claus and his sleigh: The image of Santa Claus and his sleigh began in 1819 and was created by Washington Irving, the same author who dreamt up the Headless Horsemen.
Rudolph Reindeer: The Montgomery Ward department store created Rudolph the Reindeer as a marketing gimmick to encourage children to buy their Christmas colouring books.
The original Rudolph did not have a red nose: In that day and age, red noses were seen as an indicator of chronic alcoholism and Montgomery Ward didn’t want him to look like a drunkard.
A movie titled “The Santa Clause”: It was released in 1994. A man in the movie inadvertently killed Santa and was magically recruited to take the place of Santa. You can watch this movie on YouTube and iTunes store for a small fee.
Coca cola was the first company that used Santa Claus during the winter season for promotion.

“The 12 days of Christmas” costs about $1.3 million: The big challenge is getting the lords to leap in unison. I figure about $100k per lord, with an extra $100k to cover the birds, rings, milkmaids, and so forth.
America’s first batch of eggnog: It was made in the Jamestown settlement in 1607. Its name comes from the word “grog”, meaning any drink made with rum. Non-alcoholic eggnog is popular as well.

CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY
Christmas as a “day off” is a recent innovation: As late as 1850, December 25 was not a legal holiday in New England, so stores were open, business were open, and children were expected to attend school.
