Some Christmas facts you probably didn’t know!

142 Brits were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins from new shirts;
58 Brits are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers;
31 Brits have died since 1996 from watering their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in;
19 Brits died in the last 3 years believing that Christmas decorations were chocolate;
British hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after cracker-pulling accidents;
101 Brits since 1999 have had broken parts of plastic toys pulled out of the soles of their feet;
18 Brits had serious burns in 2000 trying on new jumpers with a lighted cigarette in their mouth;
A massive 543 Brits were admitted to A&E in the last two years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth;

And saving the best for last:

I'm not sure if I wholeheartedly believe that the battery would have been the direct cause of death.

Nothing about xmas but..coca cola related
Fanta was created during World War II in Germany by the German Coca-Cola bottling company. Due to restrictions on shipping between Germany and the United States, the German bottling plant could not get Coca Cola syrup. The CEO of the plant, Max Keith, needed a product to keep the plant in operation and devised a fruit flavored drink made from available ingredients.
Using apple fiber remaining from cider pressing and whey, a byproduct from cheese manufacture, Fanta was created and became quite popular. The original German Fanta had a yellow color and a different flavor from that of Fanta Orange. The flavor varied throughout the war, depending on the ingredients used.

It's true.
The original Santa Claus, wore green, was a 'normal guy'. And dropped money down the chimneys of the poor.
