Title: A Christmas Quiz
Post by: Cf on December 12, 2012, 06:02:00 PM
Hello all. Time for an xmas quiz!

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d1/Xmas_tree.svg)

This is a SHEEP quiz. Choose what you think the most common answer will be. Your score is however many people said the same answer. Highest score wins. You may do whatever research you like except asking other people what you put. Note to mods: this means no checking jason herbert's PMs for the purposes of this quiz.

PM me your answers before 5pm Thursday 20th. The reveal will be 8pm that night.

Ho ho ho!

1. Name something eaten at Christmas dinner that not everyone likes.
2. Name a TV show that is usually on on Christmas Day.
3. What present are you most hoping you don't get this year?
4. What is your favourite thing about Christmas?
5. Name one of the presents from The 12 Days of Christmas.
6. Name a Christmas carol.
7. Name a colour.
8. Name your least favourite thing about Christmas.
9. Name one of Santa's reindeers, excluding Rudolph.
10. Merry Christmas and...

The safe and pleasant was by design :)

Such a good job you told me that. Pity I have to scratch all the answers I had written down in my head.

I just assumed it was an RSQ. I've been doing these quizzes for over a year and I can only remember ever seeing one (maybe two) sheep quizzes, quite early on.

Start again.

Right. Off out to grab some food but shall be back for the 8pm reveal. As ever I've not totted up scores before hand but I'm sure it'll all run smoothly on the night. It's boring if you do the scores first as it means i'll know who's won and i'd like it to be a surprise!

Please someone answer this! I've no idea what the definition is but I'd judge it a "song" rather than a "carol".

A Christmas carol (also called a noël) is a carol (song or hymn) whose lyrics are on the theme of Christmas or the winter season in general and which are traditionally sung in the period before Christmas.

Happy to help

Xmas Carols

Music
 
Traditionally, carols have often been based on medieval chord patterns, and it is this that gives them their uniquely characteristic musical sound. Some carols like "Personent hodie", "Good King Wenceslas", and "The Holly and the Ivy" can be traced directly back to the Middle Ages, and are among the oldest musical compositions still regularly sung.
