That's so hard I don't know my favourite.
Yes I heard that fact for the first time the other day! I don't really think of Thanksgiving as a festival involving snow and sleighs mind 
I'm really craving a good carol service this year and I love belting out Hark the Herald Angels Sing at the end

As I wrote: in terms of annual visitors! five millions is a lot considering the period in which Christmas markets are running. I couldn't find out the biggest one in Germany according to the area.

⭐The Christmas tree is a mix of pagan and Christian customs: it stands for both symbol of life and protection against ghosts (pagan) and symbol of eternal life and the light of Jesus (Christian).
@erin11 Would you like to write another facts next days?
