Vol. 18 Issue 52 CHRISTMAS TRIVIA It Is Believed That the Real St Vol. 18 Issue 52 All Rights Reserved © 2020 CHRISTMAS TRIVIA It is believed that the real St. Nicholas was born some- time around 280 A.D. in Patara, near Myra in modern- day Turkey. According to legend, his extraordinary kindness led him to give away all of his inherited wealth as he traveled the countryside helping the sick and pov- erty-stricken According to the historical accounts of Captain John Smith, the first eggnog made in the United States was consumed in his 1607 Jamestown settlement. "Nog" was, apparently, a variation of the word "grog", which refers to any drink made with rum The first candy cane was made in 1670 by a German choirmaster to help children endure lengthy nativity ser- vices. They were white and modeled after shepherds' canes to remind the children of the shepherds that vis- ited baby Jesus at the first Christmas. Some say the white stripes represent the purity of Christ and the red, the blood he shed In traditional Ukrainian houses a Christmas tree will often be decorated with a spider and web for good luck The Chichilaki is a Georgian tradi- tional Christmas tree made from dried hazelnut or walnut branches that are shaved to form a small co- niferous tree.

    For Immediate Release: Beverly Seitz, Associate Executive Director 704.374.1564 [email protected] Carolina Voices Celebrates THE 60th ANNUAL SINGING CHRISTMAS TREE and the Singing Christmas Tree for KIDS December 13 & 14, 2014 Ovens Auditorium – Charlotte, NC CHARLOTTE, NC… (October 10, 2014) – Carolina Voices, a Charlotte based arts organization which supports and promotes excellence in choral music, is excited to announce that in December it will raise the curtain on its 60th ANNUAL SINGING CHRISTMAS TREE, with performances at Ovens Auditorium on Saturday, December 13 at 7:30pm and Sunday, December 14 at 3pm. In addition, the popular Singing Christmas Tree for KIDS will offer two shows on Saturday, December 13 at 11am and 3pm. As the first true Singing Christmas Tree production in the country, Carolina Voices is proud to bring this Charlotte tradition to the community each and every holiday season. Tickets are available online through ticketmaster.com and carolinatix.org. The Singing Christmas Tree was first produced in 1954 by Charlotte Choral Society (later renamed Carolina Voices) on the steps of the Harry and Bryant funeral home on Providence Road. With Alice Berman directing, the singers sang outdoors on the steps of the building lined up in the shape of a Tree. The performance was so popular, that the organization moved the production inside to Ovens Auditorium in 1955 and purchased a Tree structure for the singers. Today, the 32’ twinkling Tree structure holds 90+ volunteer singers of Carolina Voices’ MainStage Choir whose soaring voices will be directed by the organization’s Artistic Director, Peter Leo.

    1 The Gift of Christ Pastor Tom December 24, 2017 Candlelight Service A reading from Luke 2:8-20 in the New Commercialized Version of the New Testament. “And there were in the great country to the north, children keeping watch over their stockings by the fireplace. And Lo, Santa Claus came upon them and they were sore afraid. And Santa said unto them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people – who can afford them. For unto you will be given a great feast of turkey, dressing and cake; and many presents, wrapped in bright paper lying beneath a tree adorned with tinsel, colored balls and lights. And suddenly, there will be with you a multitude of relatives and friends, praising you and saying “Thank you so much for the gift. It was just what I wanted.” And it shall come to pass as the friends and relatives have gone away into their own homes, the parents shall say to one another, “Hmm, what a mess to clean up! I’m tired, let’s go to bed and pick it up tomorrow. Thank goodness Christmas only comes once a year! And they went with haste to their cold bed and found their desired rest.” Well it is Christmas Eve 2017. You have survived another season of busyness and frenzy so you can rest tomorrow and then get after the Boxing Day Deals on Tuesday. Yes, the Christmas season has become a multi billion dollar industry. But I don’t think the first Christmas was all this buying and wrapping.

It’s also hard to believe that on December 19, 2016, I will have been at Broadway for 4 years. It’s my understanding that makes me longest running manager at Broadway. J Managing a community isn’t for everyone and not every day is a walk in the park. Many days bring challenges and some days I have to make decisions that some people do not agree with me on. But I always strive to make the best decision possible for your association based on the governing documents and with good old fashioned common sense. In management, there can be no political agenda and all residents must be served fairly and with respect. My job here would not be the same without the awesome team of employees at Broadway Promenade. And a TEAM is exactly what we are. We all strive to do the best job possible and we all rely on each other. Together we want to make Broadway Promenade a place that you love to call home. With a new year around the corner, I would like to thank each and every one of you for allowing me to serve you as your manager at Broadway Promenade.
