Show Notes
Rob shares three funky Christmas facts, including the origin of the word "Christmas," the tradition of hanging stockings, and the history behind Boxing Day. He's also here to wish listeners a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The term "Christmas" is a contraction of "Christ's Mass," derived from Middle English and Old English phrases.
- The tradition of hanging stockings comes from the Dutch custom of leaving shoes filled with food for St. Nicholas's donkeys, who would leave small gifts in return.
- Boxing Day in the UK is named after the practice of collecting money in church hounds boxes for the poor.
- The next episode of the podcast will feature a recap of the hosts' 2023 predictions, followed by a New Year's episode and a return to regular content in January.
BEST MOMENTS
"We really hope that we have added value to you and that everything we've discussed, everything we've ranted about, everything we've talked about, has helped you either get started in property investing or has taken you to the next level in property or has pushed you to do something that's made you slightly uncomfortable."
"Hanging stockings out comes from the Dutch custom of leaving shoes packed with food for St. Nicholas's donkeys. He would leave small gifts in return. So if you've got your Christmas stockings, now you know where they come from."
"Boxing Day gets its name from all the money collected in church hounds boxes for the poor. That's a question I sometimes get asked, actually. Why do we have Boxing Day here in the UK? Apparently, that's where the name comes from."
