Hello Monday, no aqua
for me this week as Natasha has court, 6 months ago she received a
parking ticket when dropping Blain off at school and decided to fight
it instead of just paying it, anyway she has court about it again
tomorrow. Last time she went to court it was adjourned.
Anyway since Christmas
is just around the corner I am doing did you know Christmas facts
that may or may not be true.
The
25th
December was originally a pagan celebration, as no one knows when
Jesus was born
Santa
Claus originated in a newspaper add, to sell toys and gift books in
the mid 19th
century.
The
Christmas Tree is a manufactured tradition.
The
nativity story resulted in several wars.
Mistletoe
kissing originated with fertility rites
I have always been taught Jesus had an early April birthday.
ReplyDeleteAll of those- with the possible exception of the "wars" one- are very true. I only say that because I do not know of any wars directly tied to the actual Nativity. I do, however, know that several wars- all involving the Turks and Russians- came from the question of who supervised the Church of the Nativity in Palestine, including the Crimean War.
