Merry Christmas !!!

Did you know that the USA helps to support communist China each Christmas by importing 400 million dollars worth of Chinese-made Christmas ornaments each Christmas.

Lighted Christmas ornaments were perhaps inspired by the second century pagan practice of placing human sacrifices in large wicker baskets, suspending them from a tree, and setting fire to the basket. (how quaint)
At first, Christmas trees used lighted candles until electric lights came along in 1895.
(what a wacky world we live in)

It is said that Queen Elizabeth I served the first gingerbread men at Christmas to important visitors at court.

CNN Money reports that shoppers will return more than $46.28 billion this year, a record amount for holiday returns according to the National Retail Federation.

To prevent evil spirits from entering the bodies of their male children, parents dressed them in blue. Blue was chosen because it's the color of the sky and was therefore associated with heavenly spirits.

Girls weren't dressed in blue, apparently because people didn't think that evil spirits would bother with them. Eventually, however, girls did get their own color: pink. Pink was chosen because of an old English legend which said that girls were born inside of pink roses.




there, now you know.
