- In the song "We Wish You A Merry Christmas", the carolers ask for "Figgy Pudding". If you ever wondered what they were singing about, it's somewhat like bread pudding made with figs together with butter, sugar, eggs ,milk, rum, apple, lemon and orange peel, nuts, cinnamon, cloves and ginger. After it is baked, it is topped with a cognac or brandy and set ablaze.

- J. W. Parkinson’s Department Store in Philadelphia in 1841 was the first to feature a visit with Santa. It took until 1890 before another department store copied this idea.
- Male reindeer shed their antlers a month before Christmas, but female reindeer keep them until spring. So, even though Santa's reindeer have male-sounding names, such as Dasher, Blitzen, Comet, and Cupid, they may, in fact, be female reindeer that pull his sleigh.
- Rudolph became famous when his story was written in verse in 1939 by Robert L. May for the Montgomery Ward department stores. The book was given to the children at the store during the holidays.

- It took just 6 weeks for Charles Dickens to write the classic book "A Christmas Carol" in 1843.
- The initial choice for Scrooge's statement "Bah Humbug" was "Bah Christmas."

Religious Christmas Facts
- St. Francis of Assisi created the first nativity scene in 1223 at Greccio, Italy, in order to put the emphasis on the real meaning of Christmas. .
-
Most nativity scenes show three wise men at the manger. However, the Bible does not ever say how many wise men came to visit. But they did bring three kinds of gifts to Jesus, which were gold, frankincense and myrrh.
- No one knows the actual birthday of Jesus (it is not recorded in the Bible). It was Pope Julius I in the fourth century who declared December 25th as the official day for celebrating His birth.
- Many people consider the word "Xmas" as disrespectful, because they think it replaces Christ's name with an "X". However, it's really quite the opposite - the ‘X’ is actually the Greek letter "Chi" which is the first letter of Christ’s name in Greek and has been used throughout the centuries as a religious term.
