There is some interesting info out there about mushrooms being related to christmas. Like christmas colors are red white and green which are the colors of the amanita muscaria growing under an evergreen tree; we celebrate by placing colorful presents under our tree. also amanitas aparantly need to be dried: hence stocking stuffers. that's why it pays to be nice because naughty children must confront their naughtyness when they ingest mushrooms. etc
Here is one link about these ideas:
