Christmas Fun Facts
Here's a cheerful batch of Christmas facts you can enjoy while coloring.
"Xmas" isn't disrespectful. The “X” comes from the Greek letter Chi (Χ), the first letter in Χριστός (Christos), and has been used as a sacred abbreviation for centuries.
Santa's roots run deep. The modern Santa blends St. Nicholas traditions (via Dutch Sinterklaas) with 19th-century imagery. It was cemented by the 1823 poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas."
Christmas trees originated in Germany. Evergreen Christmas trees became popular in Germany and spread widely in the 19th century.
Advent calendars began as a German tradition. Paper Advent calendars (counting down to Christmas) emerged in late-19th-century Germany and later became a global holiday staple.
Why do we hang stockings? A popular legend ties stockings to St. Nicholas, who secretly provided help to families in need, sparking the custom of leaving small gifts in stockings.
"Silent Night" debuted in 1818. The carol "Silent Night" was first performed on Christmas Eve, 1818, in Oberndorf, Austria.
Poinsettias are proudly Mexican. The poinsettia is native to Mexico and was introduced to the U.S. by diplomat Joel Roberts Poinsett in the 1820s.
NORAD's Santa tracker began by accident. In 1955, a misprinted phone number in a department-store ad led children to call NORAD, which graciously started "tracking Santa." It's a tradition that continues online today.
