In 1834, Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert brought the first Christmas tree to Windsor Castle for the Royal family.
6 December is St Nicholas's Day - the first of the gift giving days, especially in Holland and Belgium.
It was a small town and the Catholic Priest, the Protestant Minister and the Jewish Rabbi were very good friends. Of course, there was a lot of kidding and joking between them all year long. To their surprise, the Protestant Minister and Catholic Priest received a Christmas card from the Rabbi.
It read:
Roses are reddish
Violets are bluish
When the Messiah really comes
You'll wish you were Jewish.
I wish we could put up some of the Christmas spirit in jars and open a jar of it every month.
