Week 19 Semester 2
Hi All, I'm off on hols as of tomorrow and I thought the least I could do is to write a happy holidays blog, never let it be said that I didn't do the least I could do. Did you know that between 1659 and 1681 Christmas was banned in Boston Mas. Those found guilty of celebrating Christmas were fined 5 shillings? About the price of a Red Sox ticket at the time. Did you know that the postmaster in the US was concerned about the increase in workload around Christmas as early as 1822? The postmaster’s solution to the problem…limit by law the number of cards a person could send. Did you know Christmas trees are edible? Pine needles are a good source of vitamin C. There is a line from Crocodile Dundee that covers this well I think. Did you know It is estimated that 400,000 people each year become sick from eating tainted Christmas leftovers? I intend to be one of these. Have a happy and safe break , see you next year Marcos
