Fun quiz, and obviously I‘m no expert on Santa Claus! I was surprised to find that he apparently is Greek? Also, that the comparatively small country of France sends Santa more letters than the US! Did anyone else know that he became Canadian? I guess I can see it—I believe it snows a lot there. 🤷‍♀️🎅🎄🎁😁

dabbe I was quite surprised by a few of these as well! Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️💙💚 6d

Dilara France sends more letters to Santa than the US? I didn't know that! I am wondering whether it is because the French post office decided a long time ago that they would absorb this particular cost: children don't need to use a stamp on the enveloppe, and if they leave an address, they'll get a reply (sadly, no present!) 😁 6d

As you can guess from my score, I guessed at the majority of the questions! The very first one surprised me the most - never in a million years would I have thought that St. Nick was based on a Greek saint. 🤷🏻‍♀️
It was a fun quiz and I definitely learned some things!

Saint Nicholas was Greek?!? BRB, I have to add baklava to my Christmas wish list!

What a fun quiz! #TTT #TakeThreeThursday @dabbe

TheBookHippie Ohhhhh yesssss yummm. 7d

dabbe Who knew, right? Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🎅🏻🤍 7d

AnnCrystal True. If my research holds correct, St. Nick was born in Lycia (modern day Turkey). The Ancient Lukka were greatly intertwined with Greek culture and people...I won't go into that. In the 1080s St. Nick's tomb in Myra was dug up by sailors and some of his remains were taken to Italy. There's more to this history, and I'm probably leaving some facts out. Been awhile since I've read on the subject.

Here‘s my quiz result from the #takethreethursday quiz. This was hard. I got some of the questions right but not all of them. Supposedly, it says that Santa is described as an elf in The Night Before Christmas story. When I‘ve heard the story, I was never thinking that he was an elf. I was thinking that he‘s a person. The story I remember hearing describes him as a man with a big belly, a red suit and a beard.

CSeydel “A right jolly old elf, and I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!” My dad used to read us that poem every Christmas Eve. I can still recall most of it verbatim (although I don‘t always get the stanzas in the right order). 7d

dabbe You're right in there with the scores of everyone else! Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🎅🏻🤍 7d

melissajayne Got 70% 7d

PurpleyPumpkin I am a HUGE Santa fan, but apparently I need to learn more about him. I got 40%!😅 I learned a few things, the most impressive being that Canada gave Santa official citizenship in 2008! If I knew this at some point, I completely forgot. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Thanks for this fun post @dabbe! 7d

eeclayton I got 40% 🎅 I didn't know Odin had been an inspiration for Santa (and there were other things too that I didn't know 😂) 7d

Bookwomble 40% also 😊 7d

MemoirsForMe @dabbe @PurpleyPumpkin I thought I was a huge fan of Santa, but I don‘t know him very well. Only 30%. 😆🤦🏻‍♀️ 7d

dabbe @TheLudicReader Not bad, m'dear! And of course Canada would make him a citizen ... because Canada's cool! Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🎅🏻🤍 (edited) 7d

dabbe @DrSabrinaMoldenReads I learned quite a bit taking this quiz, I must say! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💙♥️ 6d

DrSabrinaMoldenReads @dabbe Oh yes! I really appreciated what I learned. Want to hear something funny? My 6 year old granddaughter asked me what my elf was named when I was a little girl? (Elves visit them now before Xmas.) I made up a name right quick. 😂 6d

Librarybelle Finally took this…20%! I was never a Santa Claus fan, even when I was a kid, so this does not surprise me. 😂 3d

dabbe @Librarybelle Funny, I don't think I really was either! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💙♥️ 3d

A little late, but Thanksgiving isn‘t here yet, so maybe it still counts. 😁 I think that I actually have more skill as a guesser than as a Thanksgiving scholar! Three of my favorite Thanksgiving foods are 1) cornbread dressing (I make it with chicken), 2) a Spanish baked corn casserole which I copied from a cafeteria restaurant we frequent, and 3) pecan pie (actually, all pie—I rarely turn down pie)! 😁🦃🥧

I meant to post this last night, but better late than never! 🦃 #ttt #takethreethursday

I actually didn‘t think my score would be this high and I definitely had to guess at some of the questions. But I do like to use the holiday to recognize my blessings and focus on gratitude! And Thanksgiving food is so delicious! 😋

TheBookHippie I answered wrong for Thanksgiving I was thinking when it became federal policy 🤣🫣😵‍💫🤷🏻‍♀️ 3w

dabbe @TheBookHippie @GingerAntics And I just stupidly thought it was the 3rd Thursday, not the 4th. #doh 🤦🏼‍♀️ 3w

dabbe @GingerAntics ♥️🍁🧡 3w

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie oh yeah, that wasn‘t that clear. When did it become a holiday. Almost felt like a trick question in a sense. 3w

GingerAntics @dabbe I‘m pretty sure it used to me the 3rd Thursday. I don‘t know why I say that, but I swear I heard it was changed and that‘s why people justify Christmas songs before Thanksgiving now. 3w
