    5.What is the average height of a Christmas tree.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I chose the regular quiz, and got 3 out of 10. One question I thought was very easy was the Nutcracker's enemy, the mice king. It surprised me that in London the 'goose club' was really a method of saving for a goose for Christmas. I thought that was funny, but kind of strange. I don't really think the test was leveled very correct; I thought it was too wide of topics for being a medium quiz.

    My Christmas question: What are the names of the 8 reindeer, including the most important one of all?

    ReplyDelete
  10. 1. 2/10
    2. None of them were easy, I didn't know any of them. They were all guesses.
    3.Since I didn't know any of them, I learned a little bit on everyone, Like I learned a few movies that had been made into a movie and that popeye wasn't.
    4.I think it should have been easier since it was the regular quiz. I wonder how hard the expert quiz is.
    5. What day is Christmas?:)

  11. 1. My score was 5 out of 10! :D

  19. 1. 4 out of 10.
    2. I knew Klaxon wasn't a reindeer name. I also know that you kiss under the mistletoe.
    3. I did now know that a spider web on Christmas morning meant "Good Luck!" If you find a button in your pudding, it means a bachelor.
    4. Uhhhhh, I chose the Easy quiz...and I didn't know many. uhhh ohh. Well, I guess it had a few really easy questions, and most are difficult...but overall it is leveled...to light for easy.
    5. Who Tried To steal Christmas?(;

    ReplyDelete
  20. 1. I got 7 out of 10...And I didn't see a name that was given to me so i don't know...?

    2. One reaaaaalyy easy one was, which of these reindeer do not belong to Santa and that would be Klaxian!

    3.One question that surprised me was the question what is the first line of the second verse of Angels from the Realms of Glory? I have never heard that song i don't think and I didn't even have a good guess so yeah i got it wrong.

    4. I think even for the "easy" one it had about half the questions you had to have heard a surtain song, or heard a surtain story. I don't think everyone had a fair advantage.

    5. Is Christmas your favorite holiday?

    2. I knew that Klaxon wasn't a reindeer because of the song "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer."
    3. I didn't know that a button meant that you would become a bachelor because my family has never done that tradition.
    4. No because I only got 6 out of 10 on novice, which is beginner. 3 out of the 6 that I got right I guessed on.
    5. Which of the following isn't another name for Santa Claus?
    A. St. Nicholas

    4)really not sure i just really thought i was hard cause I'm not really a expert at Christmas so it was a little hard.

    ReplyDelete
  39. 1. I scored 3 out of 10 on the Novice quiz... (uh oh)
    2. I knew that mistletoe was a plant you kiss under because Justin Bieber has mistletoe in almost every single song on his Christmas album.
    3. I knew about the pudding game where you put stuff in and whatever you get means something but I didn't know what a button meant.
    4. I don't think this quiz was accurately leveled because I think that an Easy Leveled quiz should be questions an elementary student should answer. I didn't know a lot of the Christmas carol ones and some of the history ones.

    How many songs are on Justin Bieber's Christmas Album: Under the Mistletoe?

    ReplyDelete

    4.I think some of the questions were confusing otherwise it was pretty easy.
