  • Christmas facts...

    Anyone got any to share??
    I've got a couple of books which have Xmas facts in....

    Here's one for Bubblewrap ( now I wonder why I thought of him???)

    In the late 12th Century , Henry II had a fool called Roland le Pettour ( Roland the Farter), whose antics he enjoyed so much that he used to force him out of retirement on Christmas Day to perform his 'saltum,siffletum et pettum' ( a leap, a whistle and a fart).

    Anyone do that as a family tradition????

              More of an urban myth than fact, but Santa Claus was not in fact turned red by Coca Cola - they were the ones who popularised the red Santa (who in fact is actually a mispronunciation of the Dutch "Sinta Klass"), but they didn't start it.
