  • The original Rudolph did not have a red nose. In that day and age, red noses were seen as an indicator of chronic alcoholism and Montgomery Ward didn’t want him to look like a drunkard. To complete the original picture, he was almost named Reginald or Rollo.
  • The Christmas wreath was originally hung as a symbol of Jesus. The holly represents his crown of thorns and the red berries the blood he shed.
  • The three traditional colors of most Christmas decorations are red, green and gold. Red symbolizes the blood of Christ, green symbolized life and rebirth, and gold represents light, royalty and wealth.
  • Tinsel was invented in 1610 in Germany and was once made of real silver.
  • The oldest artificial Christmas trees date back to the late 1800s and were made of green raffia (think grass hula skirts) or dyed goose feathers. Next the Addis Brush Company used their machinery that wove toilet brushes to create pine-like branches for artificial Christmas trees that were less flammable and could hold heavier decorations.
  • ‘Jingle Bells’ – the popular Christmas song was composed by James Pierpont in Massachusetts, America. It was, however, written for thanksgiving and not Christmas.
  • Coca-Cola was the first company that used Santa Claus during the winter season for promotion.
  • Hallmark introduced their first Christmas cards in 1915.
  • The first recorded date of Christmas being celebrated on December 25th was in 336, during the time of the Roman Emperor Constantine. A few years later, Pope Julius I officially declared that the birth of Jesus would be celebrated on that day.
  • Santa Claus's sleigh is led by eight reindeer: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Dunder (variously spelled Donder and Donner), and Blixem (variously spelled Blixen and Blitzen), with Rudolph being a 20th-century inclusion.
  • Outdoor Christmas lights on homes evolved from decorating the traditional Christmas tree and house with candles during the Christmas season. Lighting the tree with small candles dates back to the 17th century and originated in Germany before spreading to Eastern Europe.
  • That big, jolly man in the red suit with a white beard didn’t always look that way. Prior to 1931, Santa was depicted as everything from a tall gaunt man to a spooky-looking elf. He has donned a bishop's robe and a Norse huntsman's animal skin. When Civil War cartoonist Thomas Nast drew Santa Claus for Harper's Weekly in 1862, Santa was a small elflike figure who supported the Union. Nast continued to draw Santa for 30 years, changing the color of his coat from tan to the red he’s known for today.
    • Christmas 2018 countdown has already begun. Will you be ready??? Why do we love Christmas? It's all about the traditions. In this chaotic world we can miss the "good old days." Christmas reminds us of that time.

      That's right it has been probably 4 years since Christmasdisplays.net has conducted a contest. Best I can remember I gave away some inflatables a few years ago. I am going to be giving away a $20.00 USD Itunes Gift Card Objective The goal is simple, get as many people as possible to vote for your display between Sunday 11/29/2009 and Saturday 12/5/2009. How to play Go to your display's page and you will find social networking tools that will allow you to post your display information to these networks. Use these tools to promote your display and invite people to vote on your display

      I've never used an mp3 director card but do they allow you to set the display to turn on and off at a certain time?
    5. logan_moore

      haha, Thanks jeff but it's ok. We all know how chuck is and it's true you can make it cheaper. But I have also heard horror stories of people screwing stuff up by making their own. I always prefer to just buy my fluid that way I won't mess up my machines.

      haha chuck I guess you can, I just thought I would stick it on here for anyone who wants some ready to go snow fluid.
    15. logan_moore
      I had bought 2 gallons of Chauvet snow fluid for 29.95 a piece. The snow machine did not work so I ended up with one half used gallon and then one unopened gallon of fluid. This amount of fluid would run you around $80.00 with shipping included, I will ship it out to you for $50.00, that is anywhere in the continental US. Attached is a picture of the snow fluid. I still have the original box so you can rest assured it will be shipped safely. send me an email to [email protected] if you are interested. Thanks, Logan
