6. Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen.
11. Gaspar, Balthasar and Melchion (not sue if my spelling is correct)
13. I think it was 1984
19. Six

That's it for me, I don't think I know any of the others, El.

Yogi, you are correct in your answers, though I think it's Melchior.(and 1984 is the answer to 14 rather then 13)

That leaves 3, 8, 13, 15, 16 and 17 outstanding.
3.The song White Christmas was first performed in which 1942 film?
8.The character Jack Skellington appears in which 1993 Tim Burton film?
13.What Christmas item was invented by London baker and wedding-cake specialist Tom Smith in 1847?
15.Which country did St Nicholas come from?
16.Who wrote How the Grinch Stole Christmas?
17.From which country does the poinsettia plant originate?

(The answer to 3 is not the film White Christmas as this was Bing Crosby's second film where he sang White Christmas)

Is number 3  Holiday Inn? 

brisket, yes, 3 is Holiday Inn

  **feels pleased**

3. Holiday Inn    (dont count that one )
8.Halloween ?
14. was it 1984?  it was either the year i got married or when i had my daughter !


Hi Brisket, that was bugging me

Skylark, 3 was Holiday Inn as per brisket, you are right with 14 being 1984.
But 14 isn't Halloween - you need to think of a film with some connection with Christmas 

Oh sorry  Blame my daughter i asked her that one

Ooh I missed a good quiz   Well done you brainy lot!

squiggle, there's still some of the questions left unanswered, so you still have a chance

These are them:

8.The character Jack Skellington appears in which 1993 Tim Burton film?
13.What Christmas item was invented by London baker and wedding-cake specialist Tom Smith in 1847?
15.Which country did St Nicholas come from?
16.Who wrote How the Grinch Stole Christmas?
17.From which country does the poinsettia plant originate?

Oh goody,

8.    The Nightmare Before Christmas?
13.  Christmas crackers?
15.  Greece? (I think Yogi said this before)
16.   Dr Seuss?
17.   Mexico?

squiggle, all your answers are correct. I must admit I hadn't spotted that Yogi had already given Greece to number 15. Turkey would have also been acceptable as St Nicholas was
said to have been born in Patara,Lycia, Asia Minor in the part which became Turkey but at the time was a Greek colony (that's what Wiki says, but I wasn't around then so can't confirm it )

So congratulations to Yogi, Skylark, brisket and squiggle who between you successfully completed this quiz

Well done squiggle we left the hard ones for you

I knew I would muck up the numbers.  I kept going yo-yoing between the quiz page and the reply page - that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it.

Good teamwork.

Thanks for the quiz, El.

Dont worry Yogi, i said Halloween on a Christmas quiz  
Yes thanks El x

Thank goodness for Google

Oh squiggle, you are a naughty girl

Signing out  Sleep tight, dont let the bedbugs bite xxx

Good morning everyone

Docks 10 points a la QI style

I blame all that snow, Skylark - it has frozen our brains.

Good morning everyone.

Good morning everyone, not so cold here this morning but I think that is due to change tomorrow

Two this morning!  This one's especially for Yogi

I've just noticed that Skylark has become very Christmassy  



So what's in the bag?

Aww Squiggle, what a gorgeous puppy, thank you.
The little robin is lovely, too.

Afternoon everyone.    Sorry I've not been about.  Had a couple of very busy days!!  Had to go to the shops this morning and what normally takes me about an hour took over two hours today!!  Everyone is out buying.  They think it's going to snow hard again tomorrow.

Love the pictures Squiggle.  We have two robins in our garden and whenever I see them I always think of Hubby's parents who lived with us for a while.

I see you were all busy quizzing on here yesterday.  Sorry I missed it.  El Loro, I've added a message to our PM. 

Thanks, Joyron, I have seen your message and the others

Evening all.    No one about at the moment.  You must all be busy!!!  Probably won't be back again tonight but I will (hopefully) catch up with you all tomorrow. 

That takes me back many years to the days of black and white TV, when we had pounds, shillings and pence, when you could buy a house for £500, when we had a tin bath in front of the coal fire, when computers were big enough to fill a house, and Tim Berners-Lee (inventor of the www) was just a babe.

Ah, good old George Dixon of Dock Green - Evening all

You know when I look back at Dixon of Dock Green the world seemed a more rock-steady place then, do you know what I mean.  A good honest copper and all the baddies got their come-uppance.  Much as I liked Hustle (the series on BBC1) the goodies and baddies thing was much more mixed up by then wasn't it?

Hi all    I see we are going down memory lane!       
Yes El, i am trying to find my Christmas spirit, thought Santa would help
We are braising ourselves here for the next onslaught of snow

Evening all.
This reminds me of Renton's nostalgia thread.
Where has Renton disappeared to, he hasn't been here for ages?

Havent seen Renton around for a while Yogi..............

Maybe he'll come back, one day.

My middle son and his GF are going Christmas shopping -at this time - the shopping centres are open until midnight.

Better them than me Yogi    I did some shopping today , i really must get a move on, i have told myself Saturday is the big clean day and the tree goes up!

I promised I'd be more organised this year, but I'm far from finished.

Now that I have the house to myself, I'm going to have a long soak in the bath.
Goodnight Skylark, maybe catch up tomorrow.

bye for now Yogi, enjoy

Good morning everyone, grey clouds and windy here, speak to you later

Good morning everyone

Skylark, not that it's much consolation, but this time we can all expect heavy snow - I can expect around 7 inches on Saturday morning Growlll
