The two recent Christmas Five quizzes posted here and here were a popular read. Thanks to all those who read the posts and special thanks to those who took time to comment. I hinted that there could be a third Christmas five quiz and yes there is 😊 perhaps I should call it the Twixmas quiz, please see questions below.
Here we have five questions for todays third, and last, Christmas Five quiz,
hope you may take part again.
I've given you some help with the first two questions!
1. Which Country Started The Tradition of Putting Up A Christmas Tree?
Switzerland, Germany or The United Kingdom
2. What Year Was Tinsel Invented?
1610, 1710 or 1810
3. What has been helping us to count down the days from the 1st to the 25th December since the early 1900's?
4. In which Christmas Song is everything calm and bright?
5. Which Christmas Carol became the first song ever broadcast from space in 1965?
That wasn't too bad was it? Do write down your answers at home and come back when the answers will be revealed tomorrow 😊 🎄🎅
... and now on to a recipe suggestion ...

ReplyDeleteI feel iffy on two of the answers.
Gracias por los datos y la receta.
ReplyDeleteOnly about one for me...I've really never thought about these things Jan.
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas song is: "All is calm". And I know the 1st Christmas tree was made in Northern Germany. The other questions are not easy 😊😊😊
Never heard of turkey with Broccoli and Mushrooms. It seems delicious.
Congrats on your Christmas tree 🌲 It is beautiful and its location close to the fireplace is perfect.
Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
Great quiz, I'll be back.
ReplyDeleteThe turkey bake looks yummy!
Take care, have a great day!
The turkey bake looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteI'm useless at quizzes - well, just generally useless, really *wink* - but even I know three of these, always supposing I've got the right answers, of course . . . Janice
Your questions have brought me a chance to think about happy feelings in this great season.
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful Christmas tree. Best wishes.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Your tree looks lovely. I missed a couple of days of blogging, but back from your last set of answers, who knew there were so many kinds of brussel sprouts? Are you ready for 2024?
ReplyDeleteYour turkey bake looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteI'm no good at quizzes but think I may have got two, possibly three right.
Turkey bake sounds good! Happy days, Valerie
ReplyDeleteWow! What beautiful decorations. No turkey here but I will keep this recipe for another time. Have a wonderful day today.
ReplyDeleteI think I did pretty good. :)
ReplyDeleteI know ques 4!
ReplyDeleteFun!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has nothing to do with this post. I was looking back at my blog from many years ago. I had posted I had iron deficiency anemia in Jan 2014- yes 2014. Jan mentioned her friend had to get iron injections to keep up with iron levels. I finally started getting my iron stuff sorted out after a medical scare in Oct 2022. (Side note- very low iron can cause chest pains) I was excited to see that you were still blogging! Just a really past due update LOL
ReplyDeleteI love the tree.
ReplyDeleteREPLY TO MRS SWAN

Ty and to you as well! I have been getting iron infusions. Just had my third one and hope it sticks this time. 🤞
DeleteCreo que algunas las he contestado bien, volveré a ver las respuestas. La receta se ve muy bien. Besos.
ReplyDeleteI think I know most of them but a couple were big guess!
ReplyDeleteI love your beautiful tree. We didn't get to set our out this year because of termite problems. I'd like to wish you a happy Day After Boxing Day. Hmmm.... I'm forgetting what Boxing Day was about. I shall have to check this out online.
ReplyDeleteYour mantel and hearth are beautiful. I did the quiz on the answer page -- and not faring TOO well with it!
ReplyDeleteGuesses on two, reasonably sure about another.
ReplyDeleteFun post ~ don't do any kind of quizzes ~ Got two Masters degrees after that I don't do tests of any kind ~ lol

Many thanks Mrs Swann, sorry you had to come through as anonymous but blogger does cause glitches from time to time!
I certainly hope your iron infusions works for you.
