20 Interesting Facts and Information about Christmas for Kids.
1. The meaning of Christmas
Christmas is celebrated as the birthday of Jesus.
The 25th day of December was chosen to mark His birthday by the Roman Catholic Church years after His death.
2. Christmas Trees.
The first known instances of using Christmas trees were in 16th century Germany.
Instead of the glitzy decorations we see on them today, they were decorated with fruits and nuts. These trees are evergreen and are also known as yule trees.
3. Xmas.
Ever wondered why Christmas is also known as Xmas? The X comes from the ancient Greek language where X refers to Christ. So, Xmas simply means Christmas.
4. Santa Claus.
One of the most interesting aspects of Christmas, especially for children, is Santa Claus.
Children want to catch Santa Claus bringing them presents.
The character is based on St. Nicholas who loved children and also enjoyed giving gifts to children secretly.
5. Santa Claus’ Clothes.
Did you know that Santa initially wore clothes that were in green, purple or even blue? For many years, this was the common theme for the jolly old man at the North Pole.
However, Coca Cola decided to dress him up in colours that match their brand and now he is forever in red clothes!
6. Santa’s Reindeer.
Everyone has heard of Rudolph the red nose reindeer. But it would be impossible for Rudolph to pull Santa’s sled alone since it is filled to the brim with gifts for every good child in the world.
This is why there are eight other reindeer to help him. They are called Cupid, Dancer, Vixen, Dunder, Comet, Dasher, Prancer, and Blixem.
7. Gifts for Baby Jesus.
So what gifts did baby Jesus get? Upon his birth, there shone a bright star in the sky.
Three kings followed this star and made a long journey to the birthplace of Jesus.
They bore with them gifts of gold, frankincense (aromatic resin used in incense and perfumes), and oils.
8. Christmas Wreath.
The Christmas wreath is representative of the crown of thorns Jesus is usually seen with.
Eventually, the colours of Christmas – red, green, and gold – were added. Red is said to represent the blood of Jesus, green is supposed to symbolize life, and gold stands for royalty and light.
9. Carolling.
Have you ever wondered why groups of people go to door to door singing carols?
The tradition is based on the English custom of wassailing which was a tradition to toast to someone’s good health and fortune. St. Francis of Assisi took this tradition and converted it to the modern form of carolling.
10. Gifts for Santa.
We all know that Santa comes bearing gifts to all children as long as they have been good through the year.
But did you know that you can also give gifts to Santa? While the jolly old man does not want traditional gifts, he is a bit partial to cookies and milk to keep him fortified during his trip around the world.
