Oh, and you might want to reconsider that whole “standing under the mistletoe” thing.

Over 35 million “real” Christmas trees are cut down and sold in the U.S. every year.

The average American household mails out 28 Christmas cards each year.

During the holiday season, more than 1.76 billion candy canes will be produced.

If piled on a football field, the 2.65 billion Christmas cards sold each year in the U.S. would reach ten stories in height.

In the original Anglo-Saxon, “mistletoe” literally meant “dung twig”.
