Holiday Facts
Germany made the first artificial Christmas trees. They were made of goose feathers and dyed green.
Electric lights for trees were first used in 1895.
Rudolph" was actually created by Montgomery Ward in the late 1930's for a holiday promotion. The rest is history.
Clearing up a common misconception, in Greek, X means Christ. That is where the word "X-Mas" comes from. Not because someone took the "Christ" out of Christmas
More diamonds are sold around Christmas than any other time of the year.
The poinsettia plant was brought into the United States from Mexico by Joel Poinsett in the early 1800's.

Happy Holidays From BEER
 As 2010 comes to a shelf life, I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to order me, drink me, and most importantly share me with others.
Being the life of the party, I know things can get crazy at times, but always remember to be responsible when it comes to drinking me and driving, especially during the Holidays.
Thanks to your business, I have become quite popular. I heard that people call the office or their sales reps asking where they can find me, how many they can purchase of me, and they want me delivered asap!
Just want you to know I am always here for you, and if you have any questions about me at any time, please ask your sales reps. I know they want to share me with as many customers as possible, just like you do! Happy Holidays; cheers to me!
Your most favorite friend at J.J. Taylor, BEER

 It's that time of year, where a few beers turn into a few more at the inlaws family christmas and it's up to you to drive your family home. Please drink responsibly; take advantage of designated driver services, or always have a sober driver. It's not worth spending your Holidays behind bars:
"ST. PAUL - If Minnesota motorists drive impaired in December, they will likely have themselves a merry little time in jail. Around 400 city and county law enforcement agencies will partner with the Minnesota State Patrol to conduct a statewide DWI enforcement crackdown throughout the month of December. "- Dept. of Public Safety

Cicerone's Corner: Spiced/Winter Beers
As the seasons change, so do the beers. We like cold refreshing beers in the summer and when the weather gets a cold, well there are nice hearty beers for that! So, as the holidays approach many brewers like to concoct an elixir only fitting for this time of year! The fun thing I find with winter/holiday beers is that they all are very different and unique but one thing almost always is constant, higher alcohol! Click to read more on the Cicerone's Blog!
