Christmas Trivia Quiz | E-Neighborhood Advisor

Do you love the Mega Trivia Contest in our Neighborhood Advisor (print edition)? We don’t often include trivia in our eNeighborhood Advisor, but our QuizQueen found a few good Christmas Trivia questions this year that we thought it might be fun to give you a bit of trivia to throw out during your various holiday festivities this year. Enjoy! Q: Which Christmas tree fact is NOT true? A. Artificial Christmas trees have outsold real ones every year since 1991. B. Nova Scotia leads the world in exporting Christmas trees. C. Franklin Pierce was the first president to decorate an official White House Christmas tree. D. The Christmas tree was chosen to represent this holy holiday because it’s shape points the way to heaven. A: D. The Christmas tree was chosen to represent this holy holiday because it’s shape points the way to heaven. QQ: OK, so maybe it’s true, but the QuizQueen can’t prove that fact, as reasonable as it sounds, because it wasn’t in any of the literature she dug up for this quiz. Q. Can you name the popular Christmas song that was actually written for Thanksgiving? A. Jingle Bells B. It Came Upon a Midnight Clear C. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus D. Away in the Manger A: A. Jingle Bells QQ: The song was composed in 1857 by James Pierpont, and was originally called One Horse Open Sleigh. When you think about the words make a lot more sense that way. Q. Electric Christmas tree lights were first used in what year? A. 1865 B. 1895 C. 1905 D. 1932 A: B. 1895 QQ: American Ralph E. Morris had the bright idea that electric Christmas lights would be safer than using candles.
