Some Holiday Fun

Yes, we normally reserve our posting for Mondays and you can bet there will be an entry waiting to be read 3 days from now, but the office is so full of festive fun this morning that we couldn’t help but let some of it spill over onto here.

Besides, who doesn’t like a little Holiday trivia? Try these out and amaze co-workers, family, and friends everywhere.

If you were to receive all the presents listed in the song “The Twelve Days of Christmas” you would be opening 364 gifts!

We all know that Ralphie wanted a BB gun in A Christmas Story, but it wasn’t just any gun. No, it was a Red Ryder Carbine-Action 200-shot Range Model Air Rifle. That’s a mouthful!

Rudolph is hands-down the most popular of Santa’s reindeer, but did you know that he wasn’t part of the original lineup that appeared in “The Night before Christmas”? Instead, the big guy’s sleigh was pulled by Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Coment, Cupid, Donder, and Blitzen.

Speaking of “The Night before Christmas”, the famous poem is actually titled “A Visit from St. Nicholas” and it was written by Clement Moore in 1823.

It’s a Wonderful Life is an incredibly popular movie around the Holidays, but do you know the first name of the angel who visits George? It’s Clarence.

From all of us at F.C. Dadson, we hope your holidays are full of good food, friends, family, and – of course – fun!
