Some Interesting Facts We Probably Dont Know About Christmas. by Explorers(m): 12:49pm On Dec 22, 2015 |
We all love Christmas, but how much do any of us actually know about why Christmas is the way it is? Christmas is the most beautiful holiday of the year. In fact, the entire month of December has a particular charm, meaning the end of one year, but also the start of another. Many people love this month due to the decorations that can be seen, as well as all around the cities(most especially the snowy cities). Most people enjoy decorating their homes, shops, offices, streets and seeing the Christmas spirit in everything, including decorations, clothing and accessories. Here we have some beautiful Christmas images, decoration from around the, and some facts we probably dont know about Christmas. A little way of saying "Merry Xmas" to my Friends, Bros and Sis here. Wish you guys many more celebrations. cc: Lalasticlala, dominique, obinoscopy, ishilove, gemc3, vickyrotex, funjosh, naijaboiy, amefrica, gidoka, seemples, sleekyshuga, hahn, rich4god, middlefinger1, skinnydude, adesiji77, winetapper, nature8, mizmycoli, viktor1983, sugarbee, elxandre, and so on. 17 Likes 7 Shares

10. Jesus Christ, son of Mary, was born in a cave, not in a wooden stable. Caves were used to keep animals in because of the intense heat. A large church is now built over the cave, and people can go down inside the cave. The carpenters of Jesus' day were really stone cutters. Wood was not used as widely as it is today. So whenever you see a Christmas nativity scene with a wooden stable that's the "American" version, not the Biblical one. source: http://facts.randomhistory.com/christmas-facts.html http://www.corsinet.com/braincandy/xmastrivia.html 5 Likes 3 Shares
