Christmas gets bigger every year!
According to Guinness World Records:
The most valuable Christmas card in the world was sold at auction in 2001 for £20,000 and bought by an anonymous bidder. It was originally sent by Sir Henry Cole to his grandmother in 1843 and is hand coloured by the London illustrator John Calcott Horsley. This is also considered the world’s first Christmas card.
The largest Christmas bauble is 4.58 metres (15 feet, 0.31 inches) in diameter. It weighs 481 kg.
The largest Christmas stocking measured 51 metres, 35 cm (168 feet 5.65 inches) in length and 21 metres, 63 cm (70 feet 11.57 inches) in width (heel to toe).
The world's longest Christmas cracker measured 63.1 metres (207 feet) long and 4 metres (13 feet) in diameter.
The cracker contained balloons, toys, a giant hat and a joke.
