Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the purpose of Christmas?

Answer: To celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ

Christmas is a holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. Many people believe that Jesus was the Son of God, and was born into the world so that people could be saved from their sins and enjoy eternal life. People who believe in Jesus are called Christians. Christianity is one of the world's largest religions.
2. On what day do we celebrate Christmas?

Answer: December 25th

Christmas is always celebrated on December 25th. No one knows if this was really Jesus' birthday, but Christmas has been celebrated on this day for over 1700 years. The date may have been chosen because an older holiday honoring Helios, the pagan sun god, fell on this date. Early Christians adopted many customs from older religions.
3. Is Christmas a legal holiday in the United States?

Answer: Yes

Christmas is a legal holiday in the United States. Government offices and most stores are closed on Christmas. Some holidays, like St. Patrick's Day and Halloween, are celebrated by many people, but are not legal holidays.
4. What will you find in many people's houses at Christmas that you will probably not find at other times of the year?

Answer: A tree

It would not be unusual to see a dog or a microwave - or even a mouse - in the house at any time of year, but the only time you will see a tree in most people's houses is at Christmas. Christmas trees are usually evergreen trees, and are usually decorated with colored glass balls, lights, other decorations, and sometimes strings of popcorn or tinsel, and almost always have an angel or a star on top.

The custom of bringing a Christmas tree into the house began in Germany, and gradually spread to other countries. Today, many Christmas trees are artificial, but some people still prefer natural or "real" Christmas trees.
5. According to tradition, who brings us our presents at Christmas?

Answer: Santa Claus

Santa Claus is a jolly fat man who lives at the North Pole and brings presents to good girls and boys at Christmas. If a boy or girl has been naughty, he or she may get lumps of coal or bundles of sticks instead of presents. In some countries, Santa Claus has a different name, such as Father Christmas, Sinterklaas, or Saint Nicholas.
6. Charles Dickens wrote a famous story about a man who did not like Christmas. When someone said "Merry Christmas" to him, he responded by saying, "Bah! Humbug!" What is the name of this character?

Answer: Ebenezer Scrooge

Scrooge was a miser, and liked making money more than anything else. He was very mean to his clerk, Bob Cratchit. Even though he was very rich, he was so stingy that he even disliked spending money to keep warm or buy food. Scrooge was visited by the ghost of his late partner, Jacob Marley, and three spirits of Christmas who showed him the error of his ways.

At the end of the story, Scrooge became a good man and learned to love Christmas.
7. There's another story about a mean creature who hated Christmas. He disliked Christmas so much, he tried to stop it from coming by stealing all the toys, trees, and treats in Whoville. He was green, had a heart two sizes too small, and a dog named Max. Who was he?

Answer: The Grinch

The Grinch first appeared in a story by Dr. Seuss called "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" The Grinch hated Christmas so much that he dressed up as Santa Claus, and broke into all the Whos' houses and took their trees, presents, and all of their food - even the crumbs too small for a mouse! But despite his best efforts, Christmas came anyway.

When the Grinch heard the Whos singing, his heart grew three sizes. He returned all the things he had taken, and celebrated Christmas with the the Whos.
8. There's a Christmas tradition involving a plant called mistletoe. Some people hang it on their doorway. If someone catches you standing under the mistletoe, what do you have to give them?

Answer: A kiss

Mistletoe is a plant that grows on trees; it is green and has white berries. In ancient times, people thought it had magical powers, and would hang it over their doors to keep away evil spirits. The custom of kissing under the mistletoe seems to have started in England, and then spread to other countries. If you are standing under the mistletoe and refuse to give someone a kiss, you will have bad luck for a year.

By the way, if you find some mistletoe, don't try to eat the berries - they're poisonous!
9. At Christmas, many people like to sing songs. Songs associated with Christmas have a special name. What do we call them?

Answer: Carols

Christmas carols are usually happy songs celebrating the birth of Jesus, or other things related to Christmas. The practice of singing Christmas carols goes back hundreds of years. In some places, people go door to door singing carols, and are rewarded with a treat for their singing. Carols are also sung in churches and sometimes in Christmas pageants at schools.

Some well-known Christmas carols include "Silent Night," "Come All Ye Faithful," and "Joy To the World."
10. There are many foods that are associated with Christmas. Which of the following is one of them?

Answer: Fruit cake

A fruit cake is a rich cake containing chunks of fruit like pineapple and cherries, and often nuts such as almonds, pecans, and walnuts. Sometimes it is soaked in brandy. Fruit cakes have long been associated with Christmas; in some countries they are even called "Christmas cakes." Almost every country has foods associated with Christmas.

Some other foods associated with Christmas in the United States include eggnog, apple cider, candy canes, roast turkey or ham, and Christmas cookies.
