I got the tinsel one wrong!! Had no idea it was that long ago.
...I'm doing better, I actually got 3 this time.
Both cheesecakes are a delight to make and..eat! Good idea for New Year festivities. Thanks for sharing.
Genial gracias por la receta.
Tinsel was invented in 1610? I would have guessed the 1950's. Isn't it plastic? Well, maybe it was metal at first? Interesting!
I didn't do as well this time and only got two. I had no idea that tinsel had been round that long.
I'd never heard of Twixmas before, but then I read something about it in the newspaper and now here you are. LOL.
I used to put icicles on the Christmas tree, but it got to be silly because I told my kids to put it on carefully so they'd be easy to remove when we took the tree down. However, my son was not into being careful and loved to throw it on saying it was more natural that way.
Nice to know the answers to the ones I didn't know..
What a fun quiz!
Thank you for the cheesecake recipes. I don't know anyone who wouldn't love cheesecakes! :)
Happy "Boxing week"! xx
I only got 2 right lol.
Hello,
I only had 2 correct.
The cheesecakes look delicious.
Take care, have a great day!
Didn't realize the tinsel one...wow!
hugs

I'm not as "up" on Christmas as I thought! 1610 -- really? Wow!
Thank you, nice quiz
For the life of me, I didn't remember the song or the year.
I missed number 2 and 5 and I'm very interested in the cheese cake recipes, Thanks for them and for the fun quizzes.
Cheesecake - especially with emon - is always my fave! Hugs, Valerie

I haven't had cheesecake in ages and have never made one. Cherry cheesecake used to be my favorite.
Thanks for the answers. I did get three right.
Both cheesecakes look good.

Oh my, that lemon yoghurt cheesecake sounds fantastic. I'll be trying that out for New Year.
Got Germany, advent calendars, and Silent Night.
I didn't know about the tinsel.
I knew 3 of them, I am surprised how early the tinsel was around
Amazing about the tinsel ~ Great cheesecake here ~ thanks,
