I Will Get You Smart At Some Point At My Cart!

Some more facts of holiday acts. Those used last year are the same and a repeat would just be lame. Plus Al Penwasser is not my name. So I won't play the repeat game. Was that a dig? Oops, it was not too big. So away we go with new ones at my show.

Santa really does have powers,
He also had plenty of bowers.
Odin is one precursor it is said.
Piss him off and it's off with your head.

Apples were the earliest known decorations on the tree.
Does that really surprise thee?
I mean just cut down an apple tree.
Poof, all done at your sea.

The first Christmas card was invented in 1843.
Wow, had to take a genius for such a spree.
That must have been hard to invent.
Sarcasm, don't get bent.

White Christmas by Irving Berlin,
Sounds like a real win.
Estimated to be the best selling single of all time.
And only one month a year it is given a chime.

The first printed reference to a Christmas tree,
Came long long ago, yep older than Betsy.
Way back in 1531.
Oops, digging a bigger hole under my sun.

Christmas stockings came in a round about way,
From the hookers back in the day.
A wealthy Bishop stopped three from joining such a crew,
By climbing down their chimney and letting gold come due.

Speaking of which,
This could make you twitch.
Santa was not always so jolly.
He was depicted with a birch rod, that would punish and stick it to umm Holly.

The Puritans down below,
Meaning the U.S. show,
Banned it years ago,
And you had to pay five schillings if it were to show.

Oklahoma was the last state to declare,
Christmas a holiday affair.
I guess they wanted to bring up the rear.
Santa's birch rod caused them fear.

Mistletoe does more than get you a kiss.
Druids believed it brought another kind of bliss.
Healing diseases and other stuff.
But when it means "little dung twig" passing that off may be rough.

There you go, you are now smarter at your show. Or at least filled with useless crap. Maybe you could spread little dung twigs across the map? No you say? That is okay. Plenty will come to pass from my ever so factual little rhyming ass.

Later all, have a nice fall.
