Just minutes ago - another package has been mailed and is on it's way to you. This is the last package you are allowed to open before the REVEAL. (Though, I do reserve the right to change my mind at any given moment)

While you wait for it to arrive, here's some interesting facts about Christmas:

Christmas Holiday Trivia
The word Christmas is Old English, a contraction of Christ's Mass.



The first president to decorate the white house Christmas tree in the United States was Franklin Pierce.



Electric lights for trees were first used in 1895.



The first Christmas cards were vintage and invented in 1843, the Victorian Era.


"It's a Wonderful Life" appears on TV more often than any other holiday movie.



"Rudolph" was actually created by Montgomery Ward in the late 1930's for a holiday promotion. The rest is history.



"The Nutcracker" is the most famous Christmas ballet.



"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 presents.



The poinsettia plant was brought into the United States from Mexico by Joel Poinsett in the early 1800's.



Holly berries are poisonous.



Contrary to common belief, poinsettia plants are non-toxic.



In 1843, "A Christmas Carol" was written by Charles Dickens in just six weeks.



The first state to recognize the Christmas holiday officially was Alabama



Christmas became a national holiday in America on June, 26, 1870.



Coca Cola was the first beverage company to use Santa for a winter promotion.



An angel told Mary she was going to have a baby.



Clearing up a common misconception, in Greek, X means Christ. That is where the word "X-Mas" comes from. Not because someone took the "Christ" out of Christmas.



Traditionally, Christmas trees are taken down after Epiphany.



More diamonds are sold around Christmas than any other time of the year


Have a great day!

Your Bash Buddy

Sorry to hear you haven't been getting any packages. Hopefully that will change soon. In the meantime here is a bit of cheesy CGI for you:

Hi Tiggerpooh1973, I didn't see that you found out which your elf's name is-maybe your computer is down.

Here is a fun site that has Christmas games to play like Christmas concentration and Christmas word search. Enjoy!

I spent a lot of time with my family and did lots of Christmas shopping. I'm SO close to being done with all of my shopping and wrapping! I also cooked dinner for some friends of my husband and his friend's parents and had dinner one night at my inlaws.

I'm very excited for this upcoming weekend because I have family coming into town and I'm cooking for about 15 people on Saturday night! We're also going to a winery on Saturday! Hmmm, does that give you a hint?

I found this fun Christmas website, it has lots of cool stuff on it but I especially loved the recipe page!
