Magical Holiday Facts to Share While You Color

The holidays are full of history and magic! To make your coloring session even more festive, share these amazing holiday facts while picking out the perfect reds, greens, and snowy whites for your Christmas coloring pages:

• The First Christmas Trees: Did you know that the tradition of decorating evergreen trees started in Germany in the 16th century? Keep that in mind while you decorate the trees in your Christmas coloring pages!
• Jingle Bells in Space: The classic holiday song "Jingle Bells" was actually the very first song ever broadcast from space! In 1965, astronauts played it on a smuggled harmonica.
• Rudolph's Original Name: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer almost wasn't named Rudolph! The creator originally considered the names "Rollo" and "Reginald" before finally settling on the famous name we all know today.
• Candy Cane History: The iconic shape of a candy cane wasn't just for fun; they were originally bent into a "J" shape to represent the crooks carried by the shepherds who visited the manger.

Creative Ways to Decorate Your Christmas Coloring Pages

When you print out our Christmas coloring pages, you are the chief elf in Santa's workshop! Because the holidays are all about sparkling lights and shiny decorations, we highly recommend using metallic gel pens, gold markers, and silver glitter to make the stars and ornaments on your Christmas coloring pages truly shine.

If you print your Christmas coloring pages on heavy cardstock, you can even use watercolors to paint beautiful, glowing winter sunsets behind Santa's sleigh. Once finished, these beautiful Christmas coloring pages make fantastic homemade holiday cards to send to grandparents, or you can punch a hole in the top and use string to hang them as actual ornaments on your real Christmas tree!
