10 Highly Unusual Facts About Christmas

[oOoSandwich247oOo]

Santa's chimneying i heard was actually based on a drug runner delivering shrooms but because the snow was too high to go through the doors of the homes, he went down the chimneys

[tipenux]

Okay people, santa doesn't live in northpole!

[wkt1206]

thank you for mentioning #2

[MissHungaryChan]

I heard that Coca Cola fact is NOT true.

the reason why he is red and white is because he was once 2 different people then Newly Here Americans blended them both.

[SovetskieSoldat]

In siberia we actually have our own santa which has nothing to do with western or christian santa. So probably it was stolen from us or other people.

[Zicolasi]

Santa is for the tourists in Finnland in Rovaniemi. Actually in the finnish legends he came from Korvatunturi, meaning something like earhill. In the beginning he didnt have red clothes just normal leather jacket or smthing.

[sergio71995]

@Lydaw sorry top comment made it nice and simple you just ruined it.

[blokdeblok]

I actually go to Santa Claus every once in a while... because I live an hour away... and they have Holiday World!

[PatriaFinlandia]

Santa lives in Rovaniemi, Finland.. Even Bam Margera knows it! =)

[Wutwut1n1]

I know it's kind of implicitly stated, but #0: Christmas is a capitalist invention

[Box0rz]

#11 Santa lives in Finland, not north pole.

[TazCO1]

santa was skinny then he drank coke

[KryptoChronicutelite]

Historically, Coca-Cola was not the first soft drink company to utilize the modern image of Santa Claus in its advertising—White Rock Beverages had already used a red and white Santa to sell mineral water in 1915 and then in advertisements for its ginger ale in 1923. Earlier still, Santa Claus had appeared dressed in red and white and essentially in his current form on several covers of Puck magazine in the first few years of the 20th century.

Coca-Cola only takes the credit for SC being red.

[sk8rby3226]

I've been to Santa Claus, Indiana 7 times. Best place ever.

[Kaudernii]

Coca-Cola created a very pleasant image for Santa.could you bring back the good quality of Christmas commercial ads this year?the one that we were used to...please coca-cola!

[TheAlexrice]

santa clause indiana is a kick ass place to go.

[Jh5kRadio]

1:46 Many rofls were made.

[tattoodfreeek]

Santa is dead, I had one of his elves assassinate him last year!! The new guy is a mall Santa doing an even worse job!!!!

[kitxkatxattack]

What if Santa is real, but we are all just on the naughty list so we don't get presents?

[TheIronDildo]

Santa was green before Cola Cola.

[alltime10s]

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

[the2222full]

@alltime10s RIGHT AWAY, im going to marry Cristmas everybody

[alicat2507]

Pssss...Santa just means saint!

[tattoodfreeek]

@alicat2507 Santa is just an anagram of Satan!!!!!! Which is just another name for Coca Cola!!!!

[MikeMallorca2010]

here where I live we hold christmas at the evening of 24th december

[ThisIsAdorkyName]

december 25th is actually not the birth of jesus. it is believed to be sometime around june. december 25 is the day the pagans celebrated the sun...

[CrystalBlade101]

I know there are a few Santa believers here,but don't you think its kinda creepy that he knows when your sleeping,awake and doing some thing nice or naughty?

[jmo1954am1959]

let's get the "is santa real" answer.

he is not a living person, he inspires you to give and not worry about reciving.

techincally, (however u spell it) he is real.

[razerburst]

3000 times the speed of sound?

It's called teleporting.

[shieldwolf2012]

The Coca Cola Story isn't quite true either, They just Capitalized on an already existing image popular at the time

[sweetwinterspleen]

Santa Claus is Chuck Norris's secret identity.

[BHuang92]

3,000 miles per hour that Santa has to travel would reduce Old Saint Nick to "holly jolly pudding".

[justchokinatu]

how about top 10 funniest languages?

[jijbentgoed]

Santa claus and the dutch Sinterklaas both refer in a way to ST. Nicolas :P

[7000Merlin]

@jijbentgoed but the story of sinterklaas is slightly more believable XD

[jijbentgoed]

@7000Merlin yeah :P

[maturasek]

The CocaCola fact is not actually true. There were several images of Santa in the late 1900-s. One of them was the fat, red coated, bearded guy, but there were an old bishop, (from St, Nickolas) and a green coated kobold-like creature too. CocaCola however played a big role in this kind of Santa image's popularity (and the other's downfall), with their adverisements.

[rangerdangers1]

SANTA= BOSS

[XMugenBoyX]

There's a town called Santa Claus. Well there's a place called Hancock too.

Looks like they both are neighbors lol!

[thaw8stedd1]

watch----> "The Unwrapping of Christmas"... its way more bizzare than you think!

[magicmc23]

Can you spell satan with santa?

[xXInsan33Xx]

DAMN SANTA YOU FAST

[clearpancho]

i believe the correct term is moneymas

[knuckles91444]

this isn't one of the most unusual facts, but one of the least known: most christmas festivities stem from pagan, roman, and nord traditions.

[Freax84]

Christmas is such a lie.

[MrSqueevoot]

Stages of your life:

1: You believe in Santa

2:You don't believe in Santa

3:You become Santa

4:You look like Santa

[TheElefanteBranco]

@MrSqueevoot so first you become Santa and so then you look like him? Cool

[DrZaius3141]

@TheElefanteBranco Don't you get it? You 'become' Santa as in 'for your children'. Getting fat and overly bearded usually comes at an older age.

[TheElefanteBranco]

@DrZaius3141 oh yes, i get it, feeling dumb...

[lucixlr8]

@MrSqueevoot 9GAG!!!

[revolucion268]

@MrSqueevoot true

[asmud24]

I am a devout Christian and as such have always celebrated Christmas as a strictly secular holiday. The emphasis in the bible is on Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. Christ says to partake the Lord's supper in remembrance of him. Other places in the bible say to do that on the first day of the week. It's fine to hand out toys and candy and decorate, but I think a lot of time we put emphasis on the wrong things.

[gordonottawa99]

For those who believe that Coke created the modern look for Santa:

snopes dot com slash holidays slash christmas slash santa slash cocacola dot asp

[MsJeffk1]

#1 wasnt much of a shocker but i remember the cola commercials and not being sure of who that was the first time i saw it.

[Freemmaann]

You start watching one of these, then 2 hours later, you're still watching one of these.

[WilyMAM]

here's another fact you didn't mention it origins of a form of Christmas was pagan

[linglingjr]

your videos are awesome know I know a bunch of stuff and can become a teacher no just kidding keep up the good work though

[phail555]

"Santa used Double Team!"

[RepertMousik]

fantastic ( as always)

[TheCrimsonification]

Here's my take on Santa. He was a pedophile that snuck into childrens rooms and bribed them with toys and candy. If they refused, he beat them silly with a sock filled with coal and raped 'em anyway. Christmas is the Christian plagiarization of the Pagan celebration of the Winter Solstice. Dec 21-25th. It's a lie, just like Santa. Sorry kids. He can't commit anymore home invasions because he's not real. The man at the mall with the soggy lap (Some of that soggy is his) is paid to lie to you.

[pennywisekilledme]

@TheCrimsonification u have fun robbing childhoods go put a bullet through your head sorry u lost your innocence but dont lash out at these poor kids, its bad enough there on the same planet with you, there precious smiles being turn to sand at every heartbeat of a fools actions, i bet your gonna reply and call me a fag or gay, well im not i just hate ppl like u

[Ashdwn8683]

@pennywisekilledme do you not believe in helping give a kid an imagination-its all part of it. i feel sorry for your kids if you have any or will ever have any

[DLSorrow]

if you go 3000 times the speed of sound your dead and there's nothing left of you because you instantly incinerated because of the heat of the friction caused by the earths atmosphere. not to mention the force that would be applied to you body at takeoff.

[Fredrik1ST]

lol @ that last clip

[AaaaghJOE]

clicks on video

10 seconds late 'what am i doing?'

[UrbanSkaternotreally]

Fact number 7 is actually quite true...

[somedayemoboy]

Jesus peace be upon him is a man. He's a prophet. Not God, not son of the God. And yeah he was not born on the 25th December. So i dont know where's this Christmas comes from . .

[Ashdwn8683]

@somedayemoboy from a man who just thought it would be good to say its Jesus' bday

[robertpero]

for number 1 Santa can stop time and he has an army of Santas just saying

[bubbles77cutie]

Its called Santa's magic people ! Thats how he can visit 800 homes per second !! ;D

[alltime10s]

@bubbles77cutie that's what ive always believed anyway!! :)

[bubbles77cutie]

@alltime10s Me too :)

[PantsDance97]

@alltime10s well... he doesnt go to north korea, or any family with another religon... so he would cover a little lowere than 800 homes

[Darkmage1293]

@bubbles77cutie Meanwhile, all the geeks insist Santa has a warp drive and just beams down the presents.

[KitsuneLover99]

about #10... i have 4 dogs and a horse XD kinda hard not to spend over $46 lol

[88brightlights88]

Santa has the power to slow time everyone knows that :) !

[CrystalBlade101]

Its official,Santa has Mastered Time and Space

[Majoraspirit]

11th fact: If you unscramble 'Santa' it spells 'Satan' and vice versa.

[BlackBling01]

@kcspur92 well chrismas is kinda put together by lies and false hope so i highly doubt thats jesus real birthdate

[KCspur92]

@BlackBling01 Forgive me for contradicting my last comment, but the birthdate of Christ is really quite accurate. Unfortunately Coca Cola has turned this day into a day of black line marketing. Its as if Christmas no longer has a meaning...

[Duii26]

@KCspur92 you don't need any geological or historical research to figure jesus's birth. if you read the bible carefully you'll find out that Jesus was not born that day. keep in mind everything that was going on in the time of mary's pregnancy til she gave birth to Jesus and you'll see how dec 25th can't be Jesus's birthday.

[KCspur92]

Santa Claus is the present day model of St Nicholas. He was born in 270 AD in Myra, Lycia (modern day Turkey) and was of Greek decent. He eventually became the Catholic Bishop of Myra and was later canonized the patron saint of sailors, merchants, archers, thieves, children, and students. He is most famous for his white beard and his gift giving in Myra, in which he would place gold coins in shoes that people would leave outside. Ironically, his feast day is just 6 days before Christmas.

[ile2345]

pederi



[propza321]

Although there is no number given for the wise men, it's generally assumed there is three because there are three gifts given.

[leafsyo11]

thats so weird man because im breaking up with my girlfriend............ most likley tommorow..................

[Strongholddg]

@alltime10s we know that Jesus was born that day because we calculate 9 months from the immaculate conception´s feast (the day Virgin Mary conceibed Jesus)

[Juggler1097]

@Strongholddg The immaculate conception refers to the Catholic idea that Mary was conceived free of sin. It has nothing to do with the conception of Jesus and is not Biblically based.

[GilesHellier]

"To every child on Christmas Eve, Santa would have to travel at 3000 times the speed of sound." - SO? - HE'S SANTA, YOU BASTARD. - I am SICK and TIRED of people talking trash about him. - HE IS REAL, DAMMIT. - Known commonly as "St. Cola", he descended from the heavens to distribute joy on a conglomeration grade worldwide. Intricately designed to deflect predators with his tremendous girth, this Greenland-bound creature is hard working and vigilant. DON'T F@@K WITH SSSSAAAANNNTTTTAAAA CLORS!

[GraveCh1LL]

@GilesHellier Jeebus sent me here.

[MrEtNkT]

WAIT DO HE'S NOT FUCKING REAL?!?

[BubbaUnit]

I agree haha! I had a girlfriend that dumped me two days before christmas!

[lordswit6666]

breaking up about 2 weeks before christmas is so true.. me and my girlfriend almost broke up.. and about 13 of my friends broke up also hahahaha

[lolwhut7]

@lordswit6666 Dude holy shit me too..lmao

[lordswit6666]

@lolwhut7 lol.. this shit was true lol

[Krimzonkels]

You didn't mention that Coca Cola turned Santa red, and that he was originally green...

[PetroBeherha]

@Krimzonkels You have a very good point, but apparently he doesn't put everything in his videos. I just thought I'd tell you,

[kojirodudeman]

@Krimzonkels

He did in a previous video about Coca Cola

[RyuzakiL117]

@Krimzonkels they did just in another video

[FromHalo2halo]

@Krimzonkels That's pretty much common knowledge though.

[CruelModder]

@Krimzonkels they did....

[ttv0]

@Krimzonkels yes he did but in a different video 10 true urban myths

[McGovP]

@Krimzonkels "The red robed, white bearded Santa of today was developed for a Coca Cola campaign"

[7GGonzalez]

@Krimzonkels actually many people already now that one, but in the title it says "unusual"

[gordonottawa99]

@Krimzonkels It's an urban myth. Check Snopes dot com and look up Coca-Cola Santa.

[ruts17]

@Krimzonkels I think I saw that fact on another video of theirs 

[MosTagarta3]

@Krimzonkels

They didn't mention it because it's a myth.

[ProdSpace]

@Krimzonkels wasn't he gray?

[Krimzonkels]

@ProdSpace In Germany, he was green. He may have been gray in other countries.

[ProdSpace]

@Krimzonkels Ah! In Sweden we'd have a goat that threw stones into our houses through the door and he wore gray clothes. Then we changed him to Santa, but he still wore gray clothes! :D

[Krimzonkels]

@ProdSpace I LOVE SWEDEN SO MUCH NOW!!!!

[PivotMakeranimations]

isnt Christmas suppost to be about Jesus Christ?

[MisledTrick]

@PivotMakeranimations Yes, since Christmas is always in the Spring.. -__-

[dadsythe2]

@PivotMakeranimations Its a pagan holiday actually, not about Jesus

[Duii26]

@PivotMakeranimations yes. many people believe that christmas is about Jesus because supposedly he was born that day. but in reality Jesus was not born that day. not even that month

[devlin0497]

@KCspur92 December 25 being jesus' birthday is a lie by the roman catholic they declared it 300AD

[KCspur92]

@devlin0497 Not a all at lie. At the time, Jesus's birth was said to be around the winter solstice (21 or 23 of December). Historical research claims that the herding of sheep would occur during the winter season, at the time the shepherd came to comfort Jesus. Many other historical references about 100-200 years after Christ had dated his birth at "8 calends before January" (December 25).

[orgXIImember]

My conclusion to this video is; Santa claus and christmas is, nowadays, only about propaganda, bussiness and money.

That makes me sad and very disturbed.

So many years of evolution has only led us to that?

[JohnDoeNext]

@orgXIImember WAY TO NEGATIVE thinking. It is ALSO a day where people come together, are happy, are friendly towards each other. Songs are sung, Nice decorations nearly everywhere. Happy people here and there. Happy children opening their presents..

Visiting your family after having not seen them for quite a while.

Better put PROS together with CONS!

[MrGemod]

@orgXIImember stop whining you stupid hippie -_-

[MultiShevchenko]

@orgXIImember what do you expect, we dont live in an utopian society

[MosTagarta3]

@orgXIImember

If you believe in evolution, what does Christmas mean to you anyway, other than the commercial aspects?

[the1tigglet]

you forgot to mention that Christmas was not a Christian holiday originally and christians did not celebrate the birth of Jesus until Pope Julius decided to make christmas a day to celebrate taking on the day of Yule, or Solstice Celebration, which had already been practiced by the people. Christians didn't celebrate the birth or death of jesus for 300 years after the introduction of the new testament until this pope.

[coolxbox]

fuck of garbagemanrougue

[GarbagemanRogue]

It all makes sense now... Santa's a ninja!

[wed89asdy]

I've been searching for this @felipebuzatti comment for 10 minutes and I still can't find it .. lol

[HalloweenR5]

@Nathan6EE The church, way back when, wanted a competing holiday with Winter Solstice, the pagan holiday. So they married some of the traditions of the Solstice to traditions of Christmas

[1593726048]

Before the video started I saw a video from Coca Cola WITH Santa, coincidental?????????

[Everfrost1000]

Why didn't they mention Winter Solstice and the Pagans worshiping the Sun.

[drainmudvayne27]

nice way 2 ruin christmas, and most of this was false, just look at the sources u got the facts from, lol

[Xavierftw77]

I'd rather not break up with my Girlfriend. Thanks.

[faiz434]

Hahaha. I find Christmas funny now.

[luxurybrass]

Nooooo I dont wanna break up with my gf! I still love you baby!!!

[gerjerry99]

interesting. actually for 3 i think it's the exact year that's in doubt of his birth, not the date. he was born in winter, though not exactly december 25.

[GhoStedar]

I find it funny that they used Time as a source to say that the Bible doesn't actually have a date for Jesus' birthday; why not just read the Bible and find out for yourself?

[Everfrost1000]

@GhoStedar I see what you're saying, but if the Bible didn't mention it what page would you source.

[GhoStedar]

@Everfrost1000 They didn't source a page or even an issue from Time either. And out of the 66 books in the Bible: only four chronicle Jesus' life; only two of those tell the story of his birth; and those are only in the first few chapters. It's really not that long of a read to see that there is no mention of a specific date. I just though that was a funny source.

[xXblueblurXx1]

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tutenkamn]

@espnchris

you gotta multiply by 100 to get per_cent_ages

[alwayson09]

We're going to Vegas for Xmas and could give a fuck really.

[McMuffin752]

@alwayson09 no1 cares

[Nathan6EE]

Haha yup the bible doesn't say wat day it was... But now y did they do it on Winter then?

[AngelaSzekeres]

@Nathan6EE Because they were converting the pagans to christians, and they knew pagans would be pissed if they took away their winter solstice celebration, so they made it christmas.

[orangemonkey92]

ahh dont remind me my girl left me a couple of days ago...

[AceManDoC7]

@orangemonkey92 sorry about that bro, i know how it feels

[kak10053]

@TheLogicalKey Historians have good evidence to believe that Jesus was a real person that had disciples. The question is if he was the son of God or just a profit. Also the name Jesus was very common back then so chances are that one of them ended up being a priest or profit at sometime.

[BlackPopcornKitten]

@kak10053 Jesus actually was a real person. Whether he was the son of God, is still up debate, but there are Roman records showing the execution of Jesus of Bethlehem. This happened during the rule of emperor Octavian. Google it.

[pillowhole]

Christmas,Easter,and Sunday roots go back to ancient Egypt and Babylon,also not mentioned in the bible.

[TheLogicalKey]

They forget to mention that Jesus did not exist in the first place.

[slobbymunk481]

So, Chuck Norris is Santa?

[ifrit1780]

Maybe Santa stops time.. and then deliver the gifts

[TheGingerbreadman812]

#1 haha Challenge Accepted

[xo1k4]

santa doesn't need to go that fast, he can time travel

[jukka4president]

1:33 refer to boondocks explanation lol

[christiandoritos]

About #1, I read that on a website:

A mass of 353,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance. This will heat the reindeer in the same manner as a spacecraft reentering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer will absorb 14.3 QUINTILLION joules of energy. Per second. Each.

Santa, meanwhile, will be subjected to centrifugal forces 17,500.06 times the force of gravity. A 300 pound Santa would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force.

[MrLeviMyers]

Now thinking back on it, I broke up with my girlfriend two weeks before christmas last year...

[o0BlueBubbles0o]

does this mean santa doesnt exist?? :(
