If A Christmas Story had a soundtrack, I‘d have done better than 50% on this quiz! I blame the way my phone was jumping among all the pop up ads. 😉

#TTT @dabbe #takethreethursday

I guessed on a few, so I'm thrilled with my score! Three of my favorite holiday songs:
1. “Christmastime is Here“: not from a movie, but a tv show--the best holiday one ever! (A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS, of course!)
2. “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas“: written for the movie MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS and sung by the incomparable Judy Garland.
3. “Silver and Gold“ by Burl Ives: another tv show (RUDOLPH).

rubyslippersreads I ❤️ Judy‘s version of this song, with the more melancholy lyrics than newer versions. 8h
dabbe @rubyslippersreads Oh, me, too. I weep every time I watch her sing it to Tootie. 😭 7h
shortsarahrose @rubyslippersreads Completely agree - Judy‘s version is the best and the original lyrics are superior! 7h
kspenmoll Ho ho ho. I scored a dismal 30%! 7h

I missed Buffalo Gals (duh!,), Gimme All Your Lovin', and Where Are You Christmas.

And I figured I'd share one of my favorite fun holiday songs from The Year Without a Santa Clause:

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. ♥️💙💚 1w
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!) 😁 1w

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!

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). 1w
