twenty five

some xmas facts courtesy of music choice TV: "jingle bells" was originally written as a thanksgiving song; santa claus was generally depicted as an elf until 1931, when coca cola ads portrayed him as human-sized; in 1923 calvin coolidge became the first president to light an xmas tree on the white house lawn; FDR officially moved thanksgiving a week earlier to have an extended holiday shopping season; in 2007, mall santas in australia were asked not to say "ho ho ho" b/c it was supposedly derogatory to women.

happy xmas =)
