Yesterday we found out about the oldest Christmas trees. The Guinness Book of Records bears witness to the striving nature of humanity on the delivery of results with creativity and inventiveness. Here are examples for the Christmas tree:
The most expensive decorated Christmas tree remains a holiday tree from 2010 - decorated with $11,026,900 worth of jewellery - 181 items in all.
The largest artificial Christmas tree was 180.4 feet tall and created in China in 2015. It was covered in green synthetic foliage and decorated with ornaments and lamps.
The largest human Christmas tree was done in Chengannur, India in December 2015. There were 4,030 people involved in that tree. This is a record that continues to grow.
The largest display of illuminated Christmas Trees was accomplished by Hallmark, USA in Heralds Square, NY, NY where 449 trees were on parade.
The most lights on an artificial Christmas tree is a regular record at Universal Studios in Japan in Osaka. They do this every year, and have beaten their records over six times in the past.
I hadn't thought about other Christmas traditions. The largest gingerbread house for charity has a new record. While the size of the structure is the measure, but they also reported the calorie count at 35,823,400 calories.
The array of Christmas records can be found here at the Guinness site.
Our flower of the day is the Amaryllis - this name comes from the legend of a shy, timid nymph. Amaryllis fell deeply in love with Alteo, a shepherd with Hercules' strength and Apollo's beauty, but her affections were unrequited.
