Let's continue with the 10 things you didn't know about Christmas.

4. The origins of the Christmas tree go back to ancient Egypt. The Christmas tree has ancient origins and has its roots even inancient Egypt, in which it was customary to build small wooden pyramids in honor of the Sun God. Tradition that then inspired the peoples of northern Europe.: in the 15th century in Estonia they began to decorate trees with winter fruits for Christmas Day, a custom that later passed into Latvia and Germany as well.

5. What is the most famous Christmas gift ever? None other than the Statue of Liberty: given by France to the United States of America on Christmas Day in 1883 and transported by ship to symbolize the friendship between the two peoples. Due to lack of funds, however, the French could not build its base. So the American people took care of it, funding it through public subscription.

6. Giotto was the first painter to draw the comet star with a tail.
The Gospel has always spoken of a star guiding the path of the Magi, but makes no mention of the famous "tail," nor of light trails It was Giotto who first drew the comet with a sparkling light, thus departing from the traditional iconography of the stylized star consisting of many points. It was 1303 and, according to some, Giotto did so after witnessing the passage of Halley's comet two years earlier.
