Christmas is a comin' and our brains are gettin' slack. So here's a quick mental workout to keep you awake before you hibernate completely. One answer per reader. Go Santa go!
1. Who Wished it Could Be Christmas Every Day?
2. Which British black and white film is shown on TV every New Year in Germany?
3. Who last looked out on the feast of Stephen?
4. Brenda Lee was what around the Christmas Tree?
5. Which of the toy gifts is the odd one out and why: Captain Lazer, Callisto, Colossus Rex, Scorpio?
6. What does Scrooge ask the little boy to buy towards the end of a Christmas Carol?
7. Name the Magi.
8. What did Chris De Burgh read, which inspired him to write A Spacemen Came Travelling?
9. Who is this describing? An Italian old woman on a broomstick delivering gifts to children?
10. Who spends every Christmas walking in the air?
11. If you got a Sekiden at Xmas, what did you get?
12. Besides bullets, what else could you actually shoot with a Secret Sam Attache Case?
13. Who is the folklore companion of St. Nicholas?
14. Look to the Future Now, Its only Just begun! Who sang this?
15. Who plays Will Ferrell's father in the film Elf?
2. My guess would be a b/w comedy short Dinner for One. We get it too every year, and every year as hilarious!

ReplyDelete14: Noddy Holder (& Slade) of course!
ReplyDeletere 13: if you've been following the news about my native Holland a bit, then Black Peter will not be that colour much longer. There's even been a riot about the issue, about which I sadly shake my head in wonder...
Best -- Paul
