Colt’s Commentary – December & January

Ho Ho Ho There,

What do you mean Christmas was almost a month ago? Whoops!

December was quite hectic here at McGovern Agency, and like a lot of you, we just celebrated our family Christmas, so I thought I’d share some fun facts that’ll be sure to fill you with joy and cheer!

The first song played in space was “Jingle Bells.”
- It’s true, on 12/16/1965 this was played by the crew of NASA’s Gemini 6A space flight!
- The song itself was also originally made to be a thanksgiving song. I can’t imagine singing Jingle Bells while eating turkey and mashed potatoes!
Many people are afraid of spiders, but in Ukraine, they are symbols of good luck at Christmas.
- Many families will place a spider web ornament on their tree for good luck!
Christmas is the most popular time of year to propose with tens of thousands of people popping the question on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!
- There must be something in the hot chocolate?
The record for the most people wrapping presents simultaneously is 1,482 (other than at the North Pole of course)
- Holy moly that’s a lot of presents!
