	Christmas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The phrase "Christmas tree" is first recorded in 1835 and represents the importation of a tradition from Germany, where such trees became popular in the late 18th century.
		The prominence of Christmas in Germanic nations may be a form of carryover from the pagan midwinter holiday of Yule.
		Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is the tale of curmudgeonly miser Ebenezer Scrooge.

	Christmastime greetings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Though Christmas has been celebrated since the 4th century AD, the first known usage of any Christmastime greeting, "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year" (thus incorporating two greetings) was in an informal letter written by an English admiral in 1699.
		The alternative "Happy Christmas" gained wide usage in the late 19th century, and is still common in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
		The greeting is frequently delivered when it is known that the receiver is a Christian or celebrates Christmas, but was used to a much stronger degree in the past (note that Christian populations were higher in the past).

	Amazon.co.uk: Merry Christmas: Music: Nat King Cole (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Of all the Christmas albums on the market by Nat Cole and his cotemporaries, male and female, and there are a lot of them, this is by far the best.
		Mostly traditional Christmas carols, with a couple of lesser known ones, and a sprinkling of contributions from Tin Pan Alley, of which Mel Torme's "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting...)" is the best known and quite rightly sets the tone as the album opener.
		Five tracks further on "The Happiest Christmas Tree" is two minutes of absolute froth, but even so may remind you, with a smile, of a passage in a well-known British TV sitcom of the '90s that used it to great effect.
