Christmas Is Coming! — Time to Celebrate!

Coffee Times wishes you a merry and cheerful holiday

Christmas will always be as long as we stand heart to heart and hand in hand — Dr. Seuss

The holidays are coming and we here at Coffee Times would want to wish you the very best season of all!

Christmas is seen as a joyful time to spend with family and friends, a period of contemplation and appreciation. Wherever you are, you can sense a change in the ambiance, the smells, the lights, everything turns into something magical.

Christmas Vibes

At this time of the year, many already have their trees set up, their house is fully illuminated with twinkling lights and there are so much more decorations. Some may go out on the full Santa Claus mode and some may have nativity sets. That’s the beauty of having people from all over the world; each celebration is unique!

So if you like to make Gingerbread houses or make Snowmen, let’s get into the Christmas Vibes!

Festive Facts!

What is best to get into the Christmas Vibes than to have fun with some facts.

  • Coca-Cola changed the color of Santa Claus’ clothes to red so it matched their branding and it stuck! They were usually blue, purple, or green. 🎅
  • The biggest Christmas gift EVER to be given was from France to the USA. The Statue of Liberty was given in 1886, how to top that?! 🗽
  • Do you like to eat some pig’s head covered with mustard? This was the first preferred banquet in the UK for the holidays. Would you still pick a turkey over this dish? 🐷
  • Are you scared of spiders? In Poland and Ukraine, they are a sign of good luck in these festive times. It’s believed that a spider wove the blanket for Baby Jesus. 👶
  • Have you ever seen a Hallmark movie? These festive films only take about two weeks to shoot!. Now I know why there are so many to choose from! 🎥
  • Germany has one of the oldest Christmas markets in the world! It’s dated way in the 1600s. 🌐
  • The song “Jingle Bells” is played all around the world but did you that it broke barriers? It is said that NASA’s Gemini 6A tuned this song in 1965 and won the Guinness World Record as the first song ever been played in outer space. 🔔
  • You can in fact send a letter to Santa! As kids wanted to send their wishes to the North Pole, Canada set up a real postal code as a Santa Letter Program called HOHOHO. 📫
