We wish you a happy and safe holiday season. We’re so grateful for our dedicated teams and partners and, of course, the many households around the nation that we have the honor to serve during their most difficult times.

We’ve grabbed some of our team’s favorite holiday facts and one of our best holiday poems. It’s an old favorite, rewritten from the point of view of insurance claims.

 

Holiday Fun Facts

  • The first Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center in New York City went up in 1931. It was 20-foot tall with no ornaments. Today the towering tree is decorated with over 25,000 lights.
  • In Ukraine, spiders are considered symbols of good luck at Christmas. Families often add spider web ornaments to their trees as a nod to a lovely seasonal story about the critters once using their silky string to decorate the tree of a poor widow and her children.
  • The NORAD Santa Tracker was created due to a child’s misdial. She dialed the unlisted phone number of the Continental Air Defense Command, believing she was calling Santa Claus. Thanks to a kind-hearted Colonel, NORAD has been tracking Santa’s journey around the world ever since.
  • The term “Xmas” dates back to the 1500s. Contrary to popular belief, “Xmas” is not a trendy attempt to take Christ out of Christmas. In 1551, the holiday was commonly called “Xtemmas,” which was later shortened to “Xmas.” X is the Greek first letter of “Christ” and served as a symbolic stand-in at the time.
