We’re just one week away from Christmas Day.  You might be heading to a holiday party, a staff party tonight or this weekend.  Why not share some of these fun holiday facts with family and friends:

2 of Santa’s reindeer originally had different names.  Donner and Blitzen were instead ‘Dunder and Blixem’, which is a Dutch way to refer to ‘thunder and lightning”.

The longest running Santa Claus parade takes place in Illinois.  It’s happened every year since 1888.

Brenda Lee’s classic holiday tune “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” was recorded when she was just 13 years old.

AND, those famous Hallmark holiday movies.  Did you know each Hallmark movie takes just 2 weeks to film. That’s it – DONE!
(as of last year, there are over 340 Hallmark holiday films)
