Here’s some dates to make you jolly,
Some facts of Christmas past.
***
Did you know the 25th,
Was first celebrated in 440 AD.
***
The last white Christmas,
Was in 2008,
***
Christmas cake in the 19th Century,
Was munched on Christmas Eve.
***
And here is one for historians,
Oliver Cromwell banned Christmas in 1947
(This ban was lifted in 1960)
