Sprinkle Some Festive Cheer On Your Trivia Game! Deck the halls with.. facts? Oh yes! Jenny Kellett, the maestro of mind-boggling tidbits, presents her inaugural Christmas edition of her bestselling "HUGE Book of Amazing Facts," freshly wrapped for 2023. Packed tighter than a Christmas stocking, discover over 700 jolly trivia facts that will ho-ho-ho their way into your brain. These aren't just any facts; they're hand-picked, candy cane sweet, and occasionally nuttier than your Aunt's Christmas fruitcake. Sneak a Peek Under the Tree: - Evergreens aren't just about the holiday spirit; ancient Egyptians and Romans had a soft spot for them too during winter solstice. - The "We wish you a Merry Christmas" tune? Back in the day, it was less 'wishing' and more 'demanding'! - Male reindeer shed their antlers in early December, while females keep theirs through the winter. So, technically, Rudolph would likely be female! - Rockefeller's Christmas tree started as- well, let's just say, modest. But it's grown in more ways than one! Facts All Wrapped Up in Categories: From "Christmas Around the World" to "The Economics of Christmas," there's something in this festive fact treasury for everyone. And if you've got a penchant for pop culture, a hankering for history, or even a weakness for winter wildlife - we've got a chapter for you. Perfect for Yuletide Yucks and Guffaws: Whether you're young or just young at heart, this is the ideal read for family gatherings by the fireplace. Warning: might contain some mistletoe mischief! Amp up the holiday vibes and impress the in-laws or that one cousin who thinks they know everything. It's the season of giving, after all. Why not gift some festive knowledge with the most up-to-date Christmas trivia book around?
