Hi lads, and welcome to part one of a two part Christmas Fact Hunt, second part tomorrow;
The world’s largest Christmas present was the Statue of Liberty. The French gave it to the US in 1886. It is 46.5 meters high and weights 225 tons.
Kissing under the mistletoe is thought to come from Frigga, the Norse goddess of love who was associated with the plant.
To all those who hate the abbreviation, in Greek, X means Christ; that is where the word “Xmas†comes from.
Norwegian scientists have hypothesized that Rudolph’s red nose is probably the result of a parasitic infection of his respiratory system.
And to all our younger members, 832 – The number of homes Santa visits every second to deliver all his presents.
I wish you all a very, very merry Xmas from me, Mrs Groucho and little miss Groucho.
