A fake spider and its web are frequently used as Christmas tree decorations in Ukraine because people there think that discovering a spider web on Christmas morning brings good fortune.

Christmas is frequently referred to as "Xmas," which is actually based on the fact that the first Greek letter of Jesus Christ's name is "X."

Candy canes have existed since 1670. The red and white sugar sticks were given to young singers at the Cologne Cathedral in Germany by the choirmaster to keep them quiet during the Living Creche tradition on Christmas Eve.

The very first song played in space was "Jingle Bells." According to Guinness World Records, the traditional Christmas song was aired on December 16, 1965, during NASA's Gemini 6A space mission.

It's thought that Germany is where the Christmas tree custom first appeared. Tinsel, which was previously created from real silver, dates back to 1610 in Germany.

Most Christmas decorations use the three traditional colors, which have religious connotations. Jesus Christ's blood is represented by red, His resurrection by green, and His kingship by gold.

In nature, it is common for fish to feed on other fish to survive, but this scene captured during a dive in Anilao, Philippines, shows extraordinary determination. The young grouper had been nearly swallowed whole by a lizardfish, but with incredible effort, it managed to break free and escape just moments after the photo was taken...

The Red Sprites are atmospheric electrical phenomena generated by powerful lightning. These phenomena can extend for tens of kilometers and are visible even from great distances (the photo was taken at a distance of almost 400 km)...
