LAUREL
The early Christians in Ancient Rome were the first to decorate their homes with laurel.
They
adopted the idea from the Pagan Romans who used laurel during the Saturnalia
festival and who believed laurel was sacred to the sun god Apollo.
DEVON SUPERSTITION
If, on Christmas Eve, in the county of Devon, a girl knocks on the henhouse door and a rooster crows, she will be married within the year.
MUSIC IN SPACE
Round the world they go
In
nineteen sixty-five
Orbiting
the earth
So
high up in the sky
Dashing
round the world
Above
the earth they race
Jingle
Bells the song, was
The
first one played in space
O Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way.
Oh! What fun it is to ride
In
a spaceship far away hey
Sung to the tune of Jingle Bells
THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – ALL I WANT IS CHRISTMAS (2012)
Ira J. Finkelstein (Elijah Nelson) is a Christmas obsessed Jewish boy.
He's
seen every Christmas movie ever made and his dreams are filled with reindeer,
sleigh rides and of course, snow.
The
problem is, apart from the fact that Ira is Jewish is that at 11 years of age
he feels that Christmas is passing him by and When Ira's hopes for a holiday
vacation in Aspen are dashed, he hatches a plan to finally get the Christmas of
his dreams.
When
flying unaccompanied to visit his grandparents in sunny Florida, he swaps
tickets with Mikey Amato (Justin Thomas Howell), another 11-year-old also
flying unaccompanied on his way to Christmastown, WA.
But
they not only trade airline tickets but places as well and Ira gets more than
he bargained for when he experiences his first "White Christmas".
Elliott Gould and David DeLuise also star in this pleasant Christmas caper.
BAUBLES
The Baubles we use to decorate our Christmas trees are representative of the Apples found on the Tree of Life in Paradise.
This
is the popular belief even though the Bible doesn’t actually state that the
tree of life was an apple tree.
To
most people modern Baubles are not replicas of the fruit but are just colorful
ornaments which reflect the light of candles and fairy lights and contribute to
the festive spirit.
WHILE THE FAMILY SLUMBER
Myriad snowflakes fall
Flakes, infinite in number
Crystals
of purest white
Settle
while we slumber
Early
the next morning
In
the gloomy light
A
pure white blanket
Was
greeted with delight
The
kids were excited but
The
presents took their focus
For
their parents it was magical
To
have a White Christmas
