Christmas in August (Yellowstone)
Christmas in August (formerly known as "Savage Christmas") is an annual tradition in Yellowstone National Park. The celebration includes decorating Christmas trees, singing Christmas carols, and gift exchanges.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Yellowstone: 125 Anniversary )〕
==Origin==
According to the local legend, in the early part of the 20th century a freak blizzard stranded visitors and their stagecoach at the Old Faithful Inn. Rather than lament the fact that they were snowbound in a hotel, the guests decided to celebrate Christmas, since it looked like Christmas outside. Some stories place this blizzard as happening "shortly after the turn of the () century" while others specify the blizzard occurred in 1939 and some place it in the 1920s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=National Park System Quiz 34: Christmas in the Parks )〕
Some stories date the blizzard to the 19th century, prior to the creation of the Old Faithful Inn.〔 There is no historical record recording that a blizzard ever hit Yellowstone on or around August 25 of any given year. In fact, between 1904 and 1941, the most snow that Yellowstone received on any given day in August was 1.8 inches on August 18, 1932.〔 Interviews with older employees indicate that the celebration was not held prior to the 1930s.〔
