Christmas is drawing nigh, one of the joys of the season is the thought of curling up with a good Christmas story. Here are some options to consider for this evening's delectation.
One of the joys of Christmas is watching stage shows that feature Christmas scenes, often with song. Here are ten examples, many of which may be more familiar from the movie version of the show.
One of the joys of Christmas is preparing the special seasonal treats associated with the holiday. What that means depends on where you live, as we shall see.
Many of the details associated with the celebration of Christmas come from non-canonical traditions. This quiz looks at the Infancy Narratives found in the Gospels (King James Version).
The second chapter of the Gospel of Luke tells of the birth of Jesus. Can you identify in which Biblical book the second chapter matches these descriptions of its contents? All references are to the RSV Bible.
There aren't a lot of turtledoves in books for children, but here are some turtles. Can you match each of these fictional turtles (or tortoises) with the author who created them for our enjoyment?
Arachnids are eight-legged invertebrates. Can you match each of these arachnids with a statement about them that does not apply to any of the others in the list?
The book of Australian xerophytes (drought-friendly plants) that I was given for Christmas provided useful information as I chose plants for my new garden.
Last year my favorite Christmas gift was a lovely set of figurines for a Nativity scene, which we set up during Advent this year. The set raised some interesting questions about this tradition. (All quotations are from the KJV.)
Not where Santa lives, but cities whose names start with Santa or Saint. Where will Santa need to travel so he can place gifts under the trees in each of these cities? (Some names occur in multiple countries, but only one way makes them all work.)
The candy canes hanging on my Christmas tree reminded me of some memorable television characters who carried canes or similar accessories. Let's share some memories!
If I tell you the date and location of a natural disaster that occurred during December, casting a pall over Christmas celebrations that year, can you identify the type of event involved?
As Christmas approaches, it's easy to feel inundated with tales of wonderful, happy Christmas events. Some authors, however, have offered us insight into some of the more stressful aspects of the season. Here are ten short stories of that ilk.
Theodore Geisel, writing as Dr Seuss, created this iconic character who hated Christmas (at least, to start with). This quiz is about the original 1957 book, not the many adaptations for other media.
The classic novella 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens has been adapted many times over the years, for a wide range of media. Some adaptations were more faithful to the original than others!
'A Christmas Carol' may be the most familiar of them, but it was only the first of five Christmas novellas from Charles Dickens. Match each character with the book in which they appear.
Advent calendars are a traditional way for liturgical Christians to prepare for Christmas which are also popular with some who approach Christmas from a more secular perspective. Let's explore something of their history and seasonal significance.
Australians love to adapt things to our own setting, and Christmas is no exception. These Australian books change the standard tropes (such as winter snow and reindeer) into more locally- appropriate ones (such as the beach in summer and kangaroos).
The imagery of most traditional Christmas songs doesn't really fit with the experience of an Australian mid-summer Christmas. These songs (some parodies, some original) address the issue.
