Just How Tall is A Tall Christmas Tree?Īccording to the Guinness world records, the tallest Christmas tree ever cut was a 221-foot Douglas fir that was displayed in 1950 at the Northgate Shopping Center in Seattle, Washington.Rudolph, “the most famous reindeer of all,” was born over a hundred years after his eight flying counterparts. Norwegian scientists have hypothesized that Rudolph’s red nose is probably the result of a parasitic infection of his respiratory system.
Rudolph is Red Nosed For a Reason, Y’know!.It is said that he gave away all of his inherited wealth and traveled the countryside helping the poor and sick. Nicholas became the subject of many legends. Much admired for his piety and kindness, St. Santa Claus is totally real! Saint Nicholas of Myra lived during the fourth century. So, “Xmas” has been used as an abbreviation for Christmas since the mid 1500s. The letter “X” in Greek (also known as Chi) is the first alphabet of Christ. Smarten up!Ĭhristmas is a contraction of “Christ’s Mass,” which is derived from the Old English Cristes mæsse (first recorded in 1038). Here are some fun facts about Christmas that you (probably) didn’t know. People exchange gifts, decorate Christmas trees, attend church, share meals with family and friends and, of course, wait for Santa Claus to arrive. However, Christmas is also a worldwide cultural celebration. It will be Christmas on Friday, and we all love it! Christians around the world celebrate it as the birth anniversary of Jesus of Nazareth, the central figure of Christianity.
