Holiday Fun Facts

Whether you’re celebrating Christmas or just enjoying some downtime with your family, I hope you’re enjoying the holiday!

Here’s some fun facts I found about the holidays:

– Christmas Trees: Ancient Egyptians and Romans would decorate an evergreen to signify that spring would return.  

– Rudolph the Reindeer:  Santa’s best guide was created by Montgomery Ward in 1939 as a marketing strategy.

– Santa Claus in Red: The modern image of Santa was developed by Coca Cola in the 1930’s, also as a marketing strategy. Until then he was kind of scary and often dressed in green, blue and white.  
Happy Holidays!
