It’s finals week — why are you reading this?!?! Oh, that’s right. You’re looking for a reason to procrastinate. Well, The Cistercian Informer is here to help you!

Want to impress your family at the Christmas table? Here are a few fun facts to prove the value of your Cistercian education:

  • In 1901, Teddy Roosevelt banned Christmas Trees in The White House;
  • Letters to “Santa” go to Santa Claus, Indiana (it’s on the Internet, it must be true);
  • It took Jim Carrey three hours to put on the makeup for The Grinch;
  • The Statue of Liberty was a Christmas gift from the French to the U.S.;
  • The first artificial Christmas Tree was created out of goose feathers that were dyed.

Good luck with exams!
