TIDBITS® CELEBRATES THE SEASON

HOLIDAY FACTSby Kathy Wolfe

The holiday season is upon us, and this week Tid-bits looks at some facts you might not know about songs, food, trees, and traditions.• “Oh,bringus somefiggy pudding”goes theold

Christmas song. This traditional English dessert that dates back to the 16th century is actually more like a cake than a pudding. Its base is similar to that ofacarrotcake,thenblendedwithacustard,figs,and spices, then steamed for three or four hours. Occasionally,datesandotherfruitsareadded.

• Asugarplumisalittlesugarytreat,withacandiedcherry, plum, or dried apricot surrounded by fondant and coated with sugar. Visions of these danced in the children’s heads in Clement Clarke Moore’s poem The Night Before Christmas, penned in 1822. Moore was more accustomed to writing more seriousworks,suchasACompendiousLexiconoftheHebrewLanguage,relatedtohisoccupationasprofessorofOriental andGreekLiterature at theGeneralTheologicalSeminaryinNewYorkCity.Itwasn’t even his intention to publish his most well-known work – he had written it as a Christmas gift for his two daughters.

• In 1857, James Lord Pierpont was the musicdirectorataSavannah,Georgiachurchwhenhecomposed a happy little winter tune he entitled “One-HorseOpenSleigh,”laterknownas“JingleBells.”Justafewyearslater,hewascomposing“WeConquerorDie”and“StrikefortheSouth,”Civil War marching songs. Pierpont wasn’t anativeSoutherner,andwas in fact thesonofastaunch abolitionist from Boston.

TIDBITS GETS FIRED UP ABOUT

NATIONAL BOSS DAYby Stanley Drummond

Bosses are people, too. (Really!) And every year on October 16, America pays tribute to them.• Actually, National Boss Day was created in

1958 by an Illinois secretary named Patricia Haroski. She chose October 16 because it was her father’s birthday. Her father also happened to be her boss at the time. Nevertheless, she felt that bosses in general were underappreciated, and registered the date with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as an official observance.

• Interestingly enough, a 2005 survey done by an international human resources consulting firm revealed that the majority of employees would not trade places with their boss. The primary reason given was the change that would result between them and their co-workers. They could no longer ignore or laugh at any slackers in their department; they’d be responsible for any poor performers.

• Hallmark started selling Boss Day cards in 1979. While they don’t reveal actual sales figures, they do disclose that the “holiday” is poised to break into the list of top 10 card-send-ing events within the next few years.

December 21 or 22, and is referred to as

the winter solstice. The solstice actually

only lasts an instant, coinciding with the

sun shining directly over the Tropic of

Capricorn. The mistletoe bears its fruit

at the time of the solstice.

A little girl climbed on to the lap of the depart-ment store Santa, and settled in comfortably.

Santa delivered his usual line, “And what would you like for Christmas?”

She stared at Santa with her mouth open and a shocked look on her face before replying,

“Didn’t you get my e-mail?”

This may be more important to your future than the last Miracle because helping others achieve their goals and dreams is vital to your career You have to give beyond core service. Everyone gives core service. Zoroaster taught his fire worshippers over 3,000 years ago,” Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Those who do not give will have a difficult time finding givers Most marketers I know have forgotten the Golden Rule and only remember “Do unto me.” If you are always asking for the order, you have taken the scissors to the rule that is golden and removed the first and most important part, “Do unto others.” Ray Kroc was quoted as saying, “The way to get rick is to help everyone around you get rick.” Zig Ziglar so simply said, “The way to get what you want is to help others get what they want.” Need I add another syllable?

TOYS AND GAMESChristmas morning has children of all ages run-ning to see what treasures are nestled under the boughs of the tree. Tidbits looks at some of our favorites over the years. • During World War II, Japan was attacking

countrieswho suppliedAmericawith rubber,creating a serious shortage. Many scientists were hard at work attempting to develop a synthetic rubber. An engineer at GeneralElectric combined boric acid and silicone oil during one experiment and inadvertentlydropped some of the sticky compound on the floor.

• The popular dice game Yahtzee started outas “The Yacht Game,” simply because itwas invented on a yacht. In 1954, a wealthyCanadian couple who enjoyed playing games on their private vessel came up with a game to play, then made a few copies for their friends. Before long, friends of friends wanted a copy, and the couple sold out their rights to a company that promptly changed the name. It’s estimatedthat100millionplaythegameonaregular basis.
