Trivia & Look-n-Find Answeres:
- Jingle Bells – On the 16 December 1965, the song ‘Jingle Bells’ made history by becoming the first song to be played in space during NASA’s Gemini 6A space flight.
- To keep choirboys quiet – The legend tells that candy canes date back to 1670 when a choirmaster in Germany gave out sugar sticks to the choirboys to keep them quiet during services. The hook was meant to symbolize a shepherd’s crook for the Christmas occasion.
- We Wish You a Merry Christmas – The song was often sung by crowds of lower-class servants as they demanded alcohol from their masters during the festive period. The lyric ‘We won’t go until we get some’ was used to get their point across.
- Queen Victoria – She was the first official person to send a Christmas card, but the first commercial card came in 1843 when Sir Henry Cole produced 1000 and sold them for one shilling each.
