We all shorten Merry Christmas as X-mas. The earlier version of Xmas, "X'temmas," can be traced back to 1551. The X in the prefix came from the Greek letter Chi, which translates to Christ in English. The mas in the suffix is a Latin-derived Old-English word that means Mass.

Carols
A carol is a festive song, usually religious and often accompanied by a dance or popular character. The term 'carol' is derived from the French word Carole, which refers to a circle dance accompanied by singers. Carols were popular between the 1150s and the 1350s.

Make Up Your Own Holidays Day

There are a ton of ways to fill up your day during the holidays. You don't need Santa Claus, Father Christmas, or a Santa's reindeer.
It doesn't matter whether you're social distancing or spending it with family, you'll have a lot of time to kill in between eating and opening the presents. A trivia quiz may not be your favorite party game or tradition, but you'll still have fun. You shouldn't be a grinch when it comes to these. Today, we have some fun Christmas trivia questions to fill that time.
Here are 3 Christmas trivia questions:
White Christmas by Bing Crosby
It's not Jingle Bells! The song received its first public broadcast in 1941 on Christmas Eve. It was written by Irving Berlin and has been covered by multiple artists since. It's a classic. Is this your carol this holiday season?

Eggnog
A candy cane isn't the only sweet that's important during this time. Eggnog is a rich, chilled, sweetened beverage made with milk, sugar, cream, egg yolks, and whipped egg whites. It's also referred to as an egg-milk punch or milk punch when alcohol is added. You always have this as a part of your dinner, and it's a good pair for your yearly Yuletide movie marathon.

The number one consideration is when you will use the questions. Don't ask about any red-nosed reindeer during Easter. It wouldn't make sense. Don't ask about easter eggs in Kwanzaa. Your questions need to be relevant to the occasion. While you could always go with general quizzes, they're often harder to compile.

Who will be answering the questions? You need to know this because you want to include questions that the target audience has a chance of knowing. If they have a good sense of humor, you can use a few witty questions to spice things up. If the questions are targeted at kids, you'll have to choose a set of questions suitable for their age.

Do you want the questions to be easy to answer, or do you want to make your audience sweat? If kids are involved, you want to pick questions that are easy to answer. However, if the quiz is for adults, you can make the questions as hard as you like.
Let me guess... you've still not had enough. Yep, these questions can be addictive. We have more.
