The Origins Of Popular Christmas Traditions

Most Christmas traditions slowly caught on over the years. Here are some fun facts about a few of the most popular Christmas traditions:

  • Santa Tracker: NORAD used the Internet to track Santa for the first time (1997).
  • National Holiday Status: Christmas wasn’t declared a national holiday in the United States until 1870.
  • The First Store Santa: The first store Santa was Massachusetts businessman James Edgar in 1890. Wonder if he warned kids back then not to shoot their eye out?
  • Irish Santa Snacks: Instead of cookies and milk, the Irish leave Santa mince pie and Guinness.
  • The First Fake Tree: The first artificial Christmas tree was created using toilet brush technology (1900).
  • The First Christmas Tree: The Christmas Tree, a now-common tradition around the world, began in Germany in the 1500s. The history of Christmas trees in America got a much slower start than the rest of the world. The first Christmas Tress didn’t arrive until the early 1800s when German settlers brought the tradition to America from Germany.
