With Christmas being right around the corner, I thought that writing an article on interesting Christmas facts would help to get people in the Christmas spirit.

To start with, one interesting fact is that the popular song Jingle Bells was not originally a Christmas song. The song “Jingle Bells” was originally a Thanksgiving song. According to “35 Interesting Christmas Facts for a Fun Holiday Trivia Night,” “ James Lord Pierpont wrote the song called “One Horse Open Sleigh” for his church’s Thanksgiving concert in the mid-19th century.” In 1857, the song was then released as “Jingle Bells” and is still one of the most popular Christmas songs.

Another popular Christmas song called “Silent Night” is known as the most recorded Christmas song. According to “35 Interesting Christmas Facts for a Fun Holiday Trivia Night,” “Silent Night earns that title as the most recorded Christmas song in history.” “35 Interesting Christmas Facts for a Fun Holiday Trivia Night” also states that “It’s had more than 733 different versions copyrighted since 1978.”

A third interesting fact is that Christmas decorating sends thousands of people to the emergency rooms each year. According to “35 Interesting Christmas Facts for a Fun Holiday Trivia Night,” “In fact, the Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that 14,700 people visit hospital emergency rooms each November and December from holiday-related decorating accidents.”

During the time from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day, millions of packages will be mailed and shipped each year. According to “35 Interesting Christmas Facts for a Fun Holiday Trivia Night”, “Between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, the U.S. Postal Service delivered an estimated 910 million packages in 2019- in addition to 15 billion pieces of mail.” These numbers included gifts for loved ones, cards and Christmas Letters, and holiday credit card bills.

Even though most people believe that Black Friday is the busiest shopping day of the year, that is actually not true. According to “35 Interesting Christmas Facts for a Fun Holiday Trivia Night”, “The most hectic days of the year are actually the Friday and Saturday before the conclusion.”

In conclusion, Christmas is a time of year for celebrating with family and friends and spreading the Christmas spirit.
