This is something fun – especially if you have kids, a daycare or even if you’re a teacher. Children are always asking questions about Christmas that most adults don’t even know. Once in a while we will throw some kind of half-baked answer out to them hoping that it satisfies their curiosity. If we literally have no idea, we just change the conversation and offer them a cookie.

You don’t have to do that anymore! These are some neat facts about Christmas that you can share with children and adults if you want to look super smart.

For example;

  • Coca-Cola helped to create the modern-day image of Santa – friendly and plump with a white beard but contrary to large belief, they did not create his red attire. 
  • Christmas trees are also known as the Yule-tree.
  • It is believed that decorating Christmas trees originated in 16th century Germany, when Christians would bring decorated trees into their homes.
  • Where “X-Mas” does came from? X is a symbol for Christ in Greek, hence X-Mas. 
  • Alabama was the first US state to declare Christmas a legal holiday in 1836. 
  • On the other end, Oklahoma was the last US state to declare Christmas a legal holiday in 1907.
  • Christmas became a federal holiday in the US in June of 1870. 
  • The very first Christmas trees were decorated with apples, nuts and dates. Wow…talk about ants!
