Christmas Fun Facts 1. The first Christmas trees: Germans in the 16th century first introduced the idea of decorating trees. Back then, trees were adorned with fruits and nuts. Soon after, ornaments began to include paper cutouts and candles. 2. One big tree: The tallest Christmas tree ever erected was a 221 foot Douglas fir. The tree was displayed in downtown Seattle in 1950 and cost $19,000 at the time. 3. Baby Claus: In many Latin countries children don’t receive gifts from Santa Claus. Instead, their presents are from the baby Jesus himself! 4. Traditional Christmas drink: The first eggnog was made in medieval England from a mixture of spices, curdled milk and ale. The drink known as posset would eventually become the eggnog we know today when egg was added to the mixture. 5. Happy and merry: Did you know It used to be more common to say Happy Christmas? It wasn’t until Charles Dickens published his much-loved novel, A Christmas Carol, that Merry Christmas became the standard holiday greeting.
