Oldiesmann: I'm not finding anything related to recipes on the site. I'll do some digging through the Internet Archive and see if I can dig them up. It's possible that got lost in the big server crash back in 2016

Jane you are correct with both #s 12 & 17!

This concludes my quiz, and please, anyone, jump in with a trivia quiz of your own. The only basics are either 10, 15, or 20 questions, and at first, each person's limited to two answers each until at least the last few five and under questions. At which time, the originator can open it to anyone answering any number of questions.

So sorry it's taken me so long to get back!  :-[   We had unexpected company stop by late this afternoon, so computer was put on hold for the duration.

Sasha - #1 - Germany, is correct.   Great idea!   You've coined a new special day for the retailers to celebrate . . .  "Happy Returns Day"!  Unfortunately, that isn't the right answer for #14. ;D

rutumi - So good to see you here!  I was hoping you would reappear when the quizzes started again!  You are correct on both answers:  Boris Karloff, was Frankenstein's monster,  and the Rockefeller Center tree was first put up in 1931.

Remaining quiz questions:

10: The Nazi regime in Germany replaced Santa Claus/St Nicholas, with another mythical person?

12. What large, former retail department store, commissioned and published the story,  "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer"?

13. What Southeast Asian country boasts the longest holiday season starting in September, and lasting sometimes until late January?

14. What day surpasses, Black Friday, for busiest brick and mortar shopping day of the year?

#2 Noel comes from the Latin word Natalis.  It means "birth"

#5 Most people say that the poinsettia is native to Mexico and it is but it is also native to most of Central America. 

I had both of these in a trivia quiz that I did on line yesterday.

Bubble - your answer is correct, but you didn't name this "Solstice Man"? ha ha!  I'm going to give you credit for it anyway, because it's a hard one that most people have never heard of. (I hadn't).
Odin, is his name. He is a mythical Nordic God, associated with the Winter Solstice.  The Nazi regime also renamed Christmas trees, changed the words to Silent night, and there were even swastika shaped tree lights. (Makes me shudder!) :yikes:

MarsGal - Sorry, not Mother's Day.  Number 14, is a hard one, because I doubt that anyone has ever heard of "Super Saturday", which is the last Saturday before Christmas.

Anyone who wants to, can take a guess at the last two questions:  Not well known, but just interesting bits of Christmas trivia.

12. What large, former retail department store, commissioned and published the story,  "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer"?

13. What Southeast Asian country boasts the longest holiday season starting in September, and lasting sometimes until late January?

Just a remark about "Odin" -- it's a regular boy's name in Norway, although not used very often. My great grandmother had two brothers: Odin (became god of the sea [a sailor - lol] and Carl Gustav (king of carpentry). Imagine having a brother named Zeus?

AMY - you are correct on the last two answers. 
You are also the winner of the *Trivia Trophy*, for answering the most questions!

rutumi - interesting information on the name Odin, as well as other boy's names in Norway.  I haven't heard of the name here, but there are lots of men named Carl or Karl.  I never connected the name with "carpenter".    Incidentally, I thought about you on Saturday night, at the Nordahl Hall, (Son's of Norway), for the annual Lutefisk Dinner.   

Thanks to all who played the Christmas Trivia game, which includes - Joy, Patricia, Amy, MarsGal, Bubble, Sasha, rutumi, and Jane.
