#TakeThreeThursday

I‘m late but wouldn‘t dream of missing #TakeThreeThursday! I missed the Elf question (am hanging my head in shame) and the Disney one (I‘m okay with that). I love lots of Christmas music but some favorites are: Mariah‘s classic (please don‘t hate me!), “Please Come Home for Christmas” by the Eagles, “O Holy Night” by Celine, and “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” by the Boss! 🎄🎁🎅

dabbe I forgive you for Carey's song: it's the #1 song of all time, right? Great choices and fab score! Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️💙💚

If A Christmas Story had a soundtrack, I‘d have done better than 50% on this quiz! I blame the way my phone was jumping among all the pop up ads. 😉

I guessed on a few, so I'm thrilled with my score! Three of my favorite holiday songs:
1. “Christmastime is Here“: not from a movie, but a tv show--the best holiday one ever! (A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS, of course!)
2. “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas“: written for the movie MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS and sung by the incomparable Judy Garland.
3. “Silver and Gold“ by Burl Ives: another tv show (RUDOLPH).

rubyslippersreads I ❤️ Judy‘s version of this song, with the more melancholy lyrics than newer versions. 2d
dabbe @rubyslippersreads Oh, me, too. I weep every time I watch her sing it to Tootie. 😭 2d
shortsarahrose @rubyslippersreads Completely agree - Judy‘s version is the best and the original lyrics are superior! 2d
kspenmoll Ho ho ho. I scored a dismal 30%! 2d
dabbe @kspenmoll Time to watch some holiday movies with soundtracks! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️💙💚 1d

I missed Buffalo Gals (duh!,), Gimme All Your Lovin', and Where Are You Christmas.

And I figured I'd share one of my favorite fun holiday songs from The Year Without a Santa Clause:

AnishaInkspill 30% --- I guessed really, so really it should be more like 0%. I guess I don't know my Christmas movies that well, perfect season to make-up for this :) 2d
dabbe @AnishaInkspill It's the soundtracks that made this one hard. Who knew so many holiday movies had more than just one song in them? Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️💙💚 1d

Fun quiz, and obviously I‘m no expert on Santa Claus! I was surprised to find that he apparently is Greek? Also, that the comparatively small country of France sends Santa more letters than the US! Did anyone else know that he became Canadian? I guess I can see it—I believe it snows a lot there. 🤷‍♀️🎅🎄🎁😁

dabbe I was quite surprised by a few of these as well! Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️💙💚 1w
Dilara France sends more letters to Santa than the US? I didn't know that! I am wondering whether it is because the French post office decided a long time ago that they would absorb this particular cost: children don't need to use a stamp on the enveloppe, and if they leave an address, they'll get a reply (sadly, no present!) 😁 1w

As you can guess from my score, I guessed at the majority of the questions! The very first one surprised me the most - never in a million years would I have thought that St. Nick was based on a Greek saint. 🤷🏻‍♀️
It was a fun quiz and I definitely learned some things!

Saint Nicholas was Greek?!? BRB, I have to add baklava to my Christmas wish list!

What a fun quiz! #TTT #TakeThreeThursday @dabbe

TheBookHippie Ohhhhh yesssss yummm. 1w
dabbe Who knew, right? Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🎅🏻🤍 1w
AnnCrystal True. If my research holds correct, St. Nick was born in Lycia (modern day Turkey). The Ancient Lukka were greatly intertwined with Greek culture and people...I won't go into that. In the 1080s St. Nick's tomb in Myra was dug up by sailors and some of his remains were taken to Italy. There's more to this history, and I'm probably leaving some facts out. Been awhile since I've read on the subject.

💖🎅🏻💖.
