From
now through New Year's, I'm going to post selected questions from a
book of holiday trivia that John and I wrote in 1988-1989. I don't have
the manuscript handy right now, so for the first question, I'm going to
wing it. (Hooray for Google, which makes the research so much easier
than in 1989!) You can play along by posting your choices in comments.
Depending on the response, there MAY be a prize. Correct
answers for the previous week's questions will be posted on Mondays.
(And don't worry; I'll still be posting my usual fiction and essays and
rants as well.)
Ready? We're starting
with an easy one.
Question One: Why is the feastday of St. Nicholas of Myra celebrated on December 6th?
a. It was his birthday.
b. It was the day he died.
c. It was the day he first went down a chimney.
d. It was a day that just happened to be open in the Church calendar.

What interesting reading when I looked up some information about this! I choose B as the answer.
A reference to him having a helper to deliver the gifts named "zwarte piet" who was black from going down the chimney so often that he can't wash off the soot was a new one for me-learn something new every day I guess!
Thanks for the fun holiday trivia,
