WinterFacts part 2

To flash at parties and dinners

Winter is here and we are fully embracing it. From Frozen to the best-selling Christmas album with ten million copies. Here are the most fun winter facts.

11. Every snowflake has six sides.

12. Due to the cold in winter, your appetite increases. As a result, a person gains weight and thus libido decreases again.

13. During the Christmas period, couples think about breaking up twice as often. The reason would be the stress that these days bring. Additionally, we would be moodier due to the cold. This is also the case on Valentine's Day, by the way.

14. Despite the fact that we may have less sex in winter, most babies are born in September, which means we do indeed have sex during the winter period. Apparently, it happens earlier then because the warmth in summer could damage the quality of sperm.

Additionally, we would be moodier due to the cold.

15. In the week before Christmas, twice as many condoms are sold than in the week after.

16. The winter movie Frozen has generated one billion dollars (and cost 150 million).

17. In December, January, and February, it snows for almost 200 hours.

18. The lowest temperature recorded in the Netherlands was -27 degrees Celsius in 1942.

19. The tallest snowman ever was 37 meters high.

20. The reindeer Rudolph (you know, the one with the red nose) was a marketing stunt by the retail chain Montgomery Ward to encourage children to buy a certain coloring book. At first, they didn't want to give him a red nose because it was a sign of alcoholism, and Rudolph was actually supposed to be named Reginald, but it all turned out well in the end.

21. The best-selling Christmas album is still that of Elvis Presley with ten million copies sold.
