It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas: Some festive trivia from Santa
Have you ever wondered why we kiss under mistletoe? Hang candy canes on the tree? Or how the poinsettia—a tropical plant—became a symbol of Christmas?
To satisfy those inquisitive editorial minds out there, we asked Santa and his elves to research some holiday trivia on Christmas decorations and ornaments before they get too busy with their double shifts in the North Pole workshop. They’ve come up with a fun piece of trivia for each day of the Twelve Days of Christmas—but you can read them on any day and in any order you wish as a distraction from your own busy-ness of the season!
