Did You Know? ...Some facts about 10:21 pm

The celebration of 10:21 pm can be traced back to ancient pagan rituals. In prehistoric Greece, tribes of upright-walking ape descendants would gather in the approximate middle of their group of tent-like dwellings at 10:18 pm to praise the god of that time of day (usually represented as a calf or young rabbit). This tradition was passed down through generations and eventually reached modern North America, where the first immigrants to the continent adjusted their celebrations in recognition of the time zone change.

When, during the twentieth century, the study of time zones became more advanced, it was realized that they should have been celebrating at 3:18 pm. The 10:21 pm tradition held on, however, and to this day we still give presents and sing 10:21 pm carols at 10:21 pm every day.
