Christmas Fun

Facts…

Rudolph was almost named Reginald.

A copywriter named Robert L. May first

invented the oddball reindeer in 1939 as a

marketing gimmick for Montgomery Ward's

holiday coloring books. (May considered

naming the beloved misfit Reginald and Rollo.)

And his nose wasn't originally going to be red:

A red nose was viewed as a sign of sign of

chronic alcoholism, and Montgomery Ward

didn't want him to seem like a drunkard. Good

thing they changed it. "Reginald, the blue-

nosed reindeer" doesn't have quite the same

ring … or charm.

Jingle Bells was originally a

Thanksgiving song.

James Lord Pierpont, an organist

from Savannah, Georgia, first

performed a song he wrote, "The

One Horse Open Sleigh," at his

church's Thanksgiving concert.

The song was re-published in 1857

and given the title of today. Bonus

fact: It's also the first song

broadcast from space. On

December 16, 1965, the Gemini

6 crew serenaded Mission Control

after they reported seeing a "red-

suited" astronaut.

Fun Facts…

Have yourself a

Merry Little

Christmas!

Coca-Cola came up with

the red suit.

Well, Santa wore a variety of

colorful suits through the years —

including red, blue, white, and

green — but legend has it that the

popular image of his red coat came

from a 1930s ad by Coca Cola.

During the Christmas of 1914 (World War 1), a truce

was held between Germany and the UK. They decorated

their shelters, exchanged gifts across no man’s land

and played a game of

football between themselves.

Thank Prince Albert for your tree.

Another Christmas tradition stemming

from Saturnalia was the Christmas tree:

During the winter solstice, branches

served as a reminder of spring — and

became the root of our Christmas

tree. The Germans are credited with first

bringing evergreens into their homes

and decorating them, a tradition which

made its way to the United States in the

1830s. But it wasn't until Germany's

Prince Albert introduced the tree to his

new wife, England's Queen Victoria,

that the tradition took off.

In 1867, a Boston industrialist heard Charles Dickens read A Christmas Carol and was so moved he closed his factory on Christmas Day and gave every one of his employees a turkey.

Stockings have a funny root.

Gift-giving also came from

Holland. There, St. Nicholas'

feast day is celebrated

December 6 by children leaving

out shoes overnight and finding

little gifts from St. Nicolas in the

morning. According to legend,

hanging stockings came from

the take of a poor man who

couldn't afford his three

daughters dowries: St. Nick

dropped a bag of gold down

their chimney one night so that

the eldest could wed — but it fell

into a stocking that was drying

by the fire!
