Animal Crackers are not really crackers, but cookies that were imported to the United States from England in the late 1800s. Barnum's circus-like boxes were designed with a string handle so that they could be hung on a Christmas tree.
An artificial spider and web are often included in the decorations on Ukrainian Christmas trees. A spider web found on Christmas morning is believed to bring good luck
At Christmas, Ukrainians prepare a traditional twelve-course meal. A family's youngest child watches through the window for the evening star to appear, a signal that the feast can begin
Before settling on the name of Tiny Tim for his character in "A Christmas Carol," three other alliterative names were considered by Charles Dickens. They were Little Larry, Puny Pete, and Small Sam.
Candy canes began as straight white sticks of sugar candy used to decorated the Christmas trees. A choirmaster at Cologne Cathedral decided have the ends bent to depict a shepherd's crook and he would pass them out to the children to keep them quiet during the services. It wasn't until about the 20th century that candy canes acquired their red stripes.

These are great Tammy, thanks for sharing. Although I dont think I'm buying the one about Tiny Tim! 
If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you.

I wonder though...puny seems to be an american slang term, not a british one. And a bit too current to be used in Dickens time.

I'm a little in awe of a 12 course meal. I wonder what they serve. I'll have to look it up (and now have a goal for next year) |

Puny appeared in the language during Shakespeare's lifetime and he used it in a few of his writings. 'A puny subject strikes / At thy great glory' from "Richard II" is one example.
Also, from many sources it's held that Dickens considered those other names but can you blame him for selecting "Tiny Tim" as his final choice? It just sounds so much better.
Okay, that's your English lesson for the day. |
