[Ans] Who originally came up with the idea of electric Christmas tree lights?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Who originally came up with the idea of electric Christmas tree lights?"

The tree was traditionally decorated with "roses made of colored paper, apples, wafers, tinsel, [and] sweetmeats" the apples and and round ornaments are supposed to represent the fruit of knowledge of good and evil from the first book in the Bible, Genisis . In the 18th century, it began to be illuminated by candles which were ultimately replaced by Christmas lights after the advent of electrification. Today, there is a wide variety of traditional ornaments, such as garlands, baubles, tinsel, and candy canes. An angel or star might be placed at the top of the tree to represent the archangel Gabriel or the Star of Bethlehem from the Nativity. Edible items such as gingerbread, chocolate and other sweets are also popular, and are tied to or hung from the tree's branches with ribbons.

Step 2 : Answer to the question "Who originally came up with the idea of electric Christmas tree lights?"

Thomas Edison's assistant:

Before the advent of strands of electric Christmas lights, families would illuminate their Christmas trees with candles. This practice fostered many a home fire. In 1882, Edward H. Johnson, Thomas Edison's longtime assistant and friend, put together the first string of electric lights for stringing around a Christmas tree. Though Edison had fashioned a string of lights together in 1880 for display strand around the outside of his Menlo Park laboratory, Johnson's version was specifically for the Christmas tree, and the rest is history.

Almost all of the U.S. states produce Christmas trees, with Oregon being the largest producer of farm-raised "real" Christmas trees, at almost 5 million annually.

[Ans] What is the No. 1 Christmas song of all time, as of January 2017?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What is the No. 1 Christmas song of all time, as of January 2017?"

"The Christmas Song" (commonly subtitled "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" or, as it was originally subtitled, "Merry Christmas to You") is a classic Christmas song written in 1945 by Bob Wells and Mel Tormé.

"The Christmas Song"

Composition

Published

1945

Genre.  Christmas.

Songwriter(s). Robert Wells, Mel Tormé

According to Tormé, the song was written during a blistering hot summer. In an effort to "stay cool by thinking cool", the most-performed (according to BMI) Christmas song was born. "I saw a spiral pad on his (Wells') piano with four lines written in pencil", Tormé recalled. "They started, 'Chestnuts roasting..., Jack Frost nipping..., Yuletide carols..., Folks dressed up like Eskimos.' Bob didn't think he was writing a song lyric. He said he thought if he could immerse himself in winter he could cool off. Forty minutes later that song was written. I wrote all the music and some of the lyrics."

Step 2 : Answer to the question "What is the No. 1 Christmas song of all time, as of January 2017?"

All I Want for Christmas Is You," Mariah Carey:

The year was 1994, and Mariah Carey was just beginning her life as an iconic pop superstar when her producers approached her with the idea of doing a Christmas album. She was at first reluctant, reasoning it was too early in her career to do a specialty album. But she decided to go for it, and the rest is history. Her album "Merry Christmas" included the monster hit "All I Want for Christmas Is You.

[Ans] What cherished Christmas song was originally inspired by an annual horse race in Medford, Massachusetts, in 1850?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What cherished Christmas song was originally inspired by an annual horse race in Medford, Massachusetts, in 1850?"

Jingle Bells" is one of the best-known and commonly sung American songs in the world. It was written by James Lord Pierpont (1822–1893) and published under the title "One Horse Open Sleigh" in the autumn of 1857. It has been claimed that it was originally written to be sung by a Sunday school choir; however, historians dispute this, stating that it was much too "racy" (and secular) to be sung by a children's church choir in the days it was written.

Published late 1857

Genre Christmas

Composer(s) James Lord Pierpont

originally known as "One Horse Open Sleigh" Although originally intended for the Thanksgiving season, and having no connection to Christmas, it became associated with Christmas music and the holiday season in general decades after it was first performed on Washington Street in Boston in 1857. Some area choirs adopted it as part of their repertoire in the 1860s and 1870s, and it was featured in a variety of parlor-song and college anthologies in the 1880s. It was first recorded in 1889 on an Edison cylinder.

[Ans] How many turkeys are generally consumed in the U.S. at Christmas?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "How many turkeys are generally consumed in the U.S. at Christmas?"

The species Meleagris gallopavo is used by humans for their meat. However, they were first domesticated by the indigenous people of Mexico from at least 800 BC onwards. These domesticates were then either introduced into what is now the Southwest US or independently domesticated a second time by the indigenous people of that region by 200 BC, at first for their feathers, which were used in ceremonies and to make robes and blankets. Turkeys were first used for meat by Native Americans by about AD 1100. Compared to wild turkeys, domestic turkeys are selectively bred to grow larger in size for their meat. Americans often eat turkey on special occasions such as at Thanksgivingor Christmas.

Step 2 : Answer to the question "How many turkeys are generally consumed in the U.S. at Christmas?"

22 million:

The National Turkey Federation estimates 88 percent of Americans enjoy a traditional turkey dinner at Thanksgiving. That equates to 44 million turkeys. Christmas, the second-most popular holiday for serving up the beloved bird, usually finds 22 million turkeys consumed at the Yuletide dinner table. Turkey is popular year-round as deli meat, as sausage, turkey tenderloin, turkey drumsticks and ground turkey for turkey tacos, meatballs, and as a substitute for hamburger.

[Ans] Who commissioned the first Christmas card in 1843?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Who commissioned the first Christmas card in 1843? "

A Christmas card is a greeting card sent as part of the traditional celebration of Christmasin order to convey between people a range of sentiments related to the Christmas and holiday season. Christmas cards are usually exchanged during the weeks preceding Christmas Day by many people (including non-Christians) in Western society and in Asia. The traditional greeting reads "wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year". There are innumerable variations on this greeting, many cards expressing more religious sentiment, or containing a poem, prayer, Christmas song lyrics or Biblical verse; others stay away from religion with an all-inclusive "Season's greetings".

Step 2 : Answer to the question "Who commissioned the first Christmas card in 1843?"

Henry Cole::

The first Christmas cards were commissioned by Sir Henry Cole and illustrated by John Callcott Horsley in London on 1 May 1843. The central picture showed three generations of a family raising a toast to the card's recipient: on either side were scenes of charity, with food and clothing being given to the poor. Allegedly the image of the family drinking wine together proved controversial, but the idea was shrewd: Cole had helped introduce the Penny Post three years earlier. Two batches totaling 2,050 cards were printed and sold that year for a shilling each.^[
