We have been covering the Manuka Honey Trademark dispute for our followers. It's hot off the press news...

“This decision is the right decision and a fair decision. The term manuka has been used in Australia since the 1800s and the Australian industry has invested significantly for decades in manuka honey science, research and marketing,” chairman Paul Callander said.

The association argued the term “manuka honey” was a customary term used to describe honey made from the manuka tree, found in both New Zealand and Australia.

In reaching its decision, the court acknowledged that the term was mostly descriptive of a type of honey and used widely beyond New Zealand."

History of Christmas

On December 25, Christians traditionally celebrate the birth of Christ. The origins of the holiday are uncertain, however by the year 336, the Christian church in Rome observed the Feast of the Nativity (birth) on December 25. Christmas also coincided with the winter solstice and the Roman Festival of Saturnalia.

While Christmas is a centuries-old tradition, it was never an official American national holiday until 1870. The House and Senate passed a bill introduced by Rep. Burton Chauncey Cook of Illinois that proposed making Christmas a national holiday. President Ulysses S. Grant signed the bill on June 28, 1870.
