Households, regions and families have a variety of tra- ditions to celebrate Christmas, ranging from ugly sweaters to drinking eggnog to a Christmas goose, while others, like decorating an evergreen tree, are common across the world. Mental Floss talks about the history of these common, and a few less common, traditions. EVERGREEN TREES Before Christianity, people used branches from pine trees to decorate their homes during winter as a reminder that plants would return in abundance during the spring. As Christianity grew, people incorporated the tradition of evergreen trees into their cel- ebrations, particularly in Germany, decorating trees with apples. The tradition increased in popularity when Queen Victoria decorated a tree in honor of her German husband. © ADOBE STOCK with the blood of Jesus Christ. MILK AND COOKIES CHRISTMAS COLORS Red and green don’t have an official origin story, but historians believe green may come from the evergreen tree tradition, and the red is from holly berries, which also have a religious implication; the berries have been associated Leaving a sweet treat for Santa dates back to ancient Norse mythology. Legend has it that the Norse god Odin had an eight-legged horse, Sleipnir. Children left treats for Sleipnir with the hope that Odin would give them gifts in return. It returned to popu- larity in the United States during the Great Depression as a way to teach children to be grateful for gifts. ADVENT CALENDARS These calendars help you count down the days until Christmas. You can buy them at the grocery store — typi- cally these come with little chocolates or other candies inside — or get a reusable one at a craft or Christmas store. These could include candy, reading the Christmas story or something else. Advent itself is a religious advent that has been cele- brated since the fourth centu- ry; it starts on the Sunday closest to Nov. 30 and is a period of preparation for Christmas. MISTLETOE This plant, which is actual- ly a parasite, has long been associated with fertility; according to the Celtic Druids, it blossomed in the coldest times of winter. How the jump from fertility to kiss- ing is unknown, though the tradition grew in popularity with English servants in the 1700s and spread upward.
