22 for 4th grade,

Interesting!
I don’t remember
This is the best Christmas Trivia quiz in 2021!
Christmas is my favorite holiday
Learnt a lot about Christmas.
proper English, please
Better get em all,or im hangin it up! Christmas is my Culture!
How come I always Mail my letters to Santa and address them to the North Pole. NOT to the Boondocks in Canada.
The Quiz failed on question #1! While there are well over a hundred different names around the world, in the most popular cultural renditions there are at least 10. As you couldn't get that right, I didn't bother carrying on with the rest of the quiz.
Can you be more specific with question 20? There's many actors in the movie. To name a few; Sinbad, Arnold, Jake Lloyd, Micheal McKean, Phil Hartman, Jim Belushi, Robert Conrad, Verne Troyer, The Big Show, Richard Moll and I can go on and on. Now if you said " Who played the main character?" or " Who played Howard" then there wouldn't be as many choices.
Not very many, most of them I've never heard of before.
I managed to get 4 names for Sants, but only 3 were the same as the quiz. Did not do good on the movie ones. Only got one.
Very northern Northern Hemisphere oriented. For the vast majority of the world it doesn’t snow at Christmas. Even in the Northern Hemisphere most people live somewhere it is unlikely to snow, and in the Southern Hemisphere Christmas is about Summer.
In the Southern Hemisphere many Christmas events are focused on outdoor activities. In Australia (and in South Africa) many people gather to sing carols by candlelight outside on a balmy evening on the Saturday before Christmas or Christmas Eve. In Argentina people have fireworks and let off paper lanterns with candles inside (called globes) to float up into the air. In Timor Leste people build and decorate nativity scenes in the streets.
It is such a pity that the idea of snow and cold is so associated with Christmas, when at the time of Jesus’s birth there would have been no snow. If it was that cold, the shepherds would not have outside at night with their flocks.
Wow! I only got 14 right. That’s what I get for thinkin’ I know more than I do. It was an interesting quiz though thanks! 🙂
Very cool video! Thank you for your work! 🎉
I also shoot videos on the topic of quizzes!
17/40 right
