I sometimes wonder the origin of the word "Boxing day". It just reminds me of boxing kangaroos o.o!

I always thought it was because that was the day you "boxed up" all the Christmas decorations, but most people seem to leave their stuff up until February most of the time.

I doubt it. The traditional day to take down Christmas decorations is the 12th day of Christmas, 6 January.

The origin lies in the servants of nobles during the Victorian era. Since they had to work and serve on Christmas Day, they were given the day after off to celebrate with their own families. They were given a box from their employer to share with their family.

Have you read the poem? It's always been "Jelly" and never "Jell-O"--that wouldn't rhyme.

Plus, "A Visit from St. Nicholas" (aka 'Twas the Night Before Christmas') was published in 1823, and Jell-O wasn't invented until 1897.

There weren't three wise men! An unknown number of "Magi from the east" (Matthew 2:1) brought gifts made of three materials (Matthew 2:11), thus everyone assumes there were three gifts; one wise man per gift. Also, "Happy Holidays" isn't the politically correct way to say Merry Christmas; it's the inclusive way to wish people happiness during whatever holiday they celebrate. "Merry Christmas" is the politically correct way to say Merry Christmas.

Isn't jello a brand of American pudding? I had american neighbours and they always used to make "jello pies" with us, and that was like a chocolate cream sort of thing. Jelly is, well, jelly. It wobbles

In the US, jello is gelatin dessert and jelly is like jam (made from fruit, but uses the juice instead of pulpy-pieces so it's less chunky)

Fun fact for you: In the Bible, it never mentions there being only three wise men. It was very unlikely there were only three because they would've at least travelled with their servants. People just assumed there were three because of the three gifts. :)

You've got one answer wrong! The first written records of Christmas trees are from Séléstat and Strasbourg, Alsace, France. I suggest either correcting this or removing the question as it is hard to prove where traditions like Christmas trees originate.

The first record of a Christmas tree in Strasbourg is from 1539, when Alsace didn't yet belong to France. The first records are from German Lutherans in the region.

There was an even earlier decorated tree in Riga (Latvia) from 1510.

The modern tradition began in Germany, but most definitely the first Christmas tree was not German (nor was it French).

Alex is rather inelegantly commenting forth the theory/rumour that Charles might not have been entirely responsible for Harry's conception, with James Hewitt being the celestial source of the birth.
