Last Day of blogging and Christmas! :(

     Hey! I can't believe it is the last day of blogging! Today is the last full day of  school! Yay! What is on your Christmas list (if you celebrate it)? For next semester's electives, I wanted to do sign language and/or spanish, creamics, painting or journalism. These are facts about Christmas...  
  • Germany made the first artificial Christmas trees. They were made of goose feathers are dyed green.
  •  Jingle Bells" was first written for Thanksgiving and then became one of the most popular Christmas songs.
  • If you received all of the gifts in the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas," you would receive 364 gifts.
  • Contrary to common belief, poinsettia plants are non-toxic, BUT holly is toxic
  • In 1843, "A Christmas Carol" was written by Charles Dickens in just six weeks.
  •  Electric lights for trees were first used in 1895.
  • "It's a Wonderful Life" appears on TV more often than any other holiday movie.
Bye! I will see you next year! 2013! :)
