You Forgot Capitalization. In Your Old Quizzes You Had Capitalization , Aspecially , Why Are The Hints Not In Capitalletters

Reading that comment was practically capital punishment.

I've never even heard of poinsettia. What's it used for?

Cooking.

Decoration.

They aren't for cooking, they are bitter and can cause digestive upsets. They were brought to the US from Mexico by an ambassador named Poinsett, and their red color led to them being marketed as a Christmas plant in the US. I bought mine this week - they only last a few weeks before the red bracts fall off.

They should accept pondsettia because it grows by ponds.

the holly picture isn't great since it focuses on the berry if it was zoomed further out it would probably have more people answering it correctly

Not American or European, but have heard of Holly and Mistletoe through songs (kissing under the mistletoe, deck the halls with holly etc.) Where does Poinsettia appear in Christmas stuff?

The poinsettia is closely associated with Christmas here in the US. The traditional Christmas colors are red and green, so offices, stores, etc. will decorate with red and green poinsettias in December.

Tried "wassailing" for caroling just for fun to see if it was an accepted answer :) (it wasn't)

Sled and sledge? (American and old-fashioned British, I believe.)

we have a similar thing in the Czech Republic but we just call him "a devil". He accompanies St. Nicholas on the 5th of December along with an angel. I have never heard the name Krampus though :/

Yes I tried Black Peter also but... probably not too PC.

Yeah, never heard of it in the UK. I did know they had something along those lines on the continent, but I had no idea on the name. Amazed it scored as highly as it did, i was expecting low single figures.

It's primarily a Germanic thing, found in places like Austria, Hungary, Czechia, Croatia, and parts of Germany.

Last Picture's A Man. How Is That to do with Christmas?

It's saint Nicholas (my saint), who was basically what santa claus was called centuries ago.

Yeah, St. Nicholas was one of the primary inspirations for the modern character of Santa Claus. In fact, it's where the name "Santa Claus" came from: Saint -> Santa, Nicholas -> Niklaus -> Klaus -> Claus. Santa is still often referred to as St. Nicholas or St. Nick, like in the carol "Up On the House Top" or in "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" (which is actually properly titled "A Visit from St. Nicholas.")

Great quiz Quizmaster! Love It's a Wonderful Life.

I wonder what 'Krampus' has to do with Christmas?

We were never threatened with coal when I was young. People burned that in their stoves and wouldn't have given it away. The naughty children in my area were threatened with switches in their stockings.

We were threatened with potato peels.

This is American Christmas by picture....

Many of these things are related to Christmas in other parts of the world as well, and one is neither American nor British.

or Die Hard

'Phil', you must be the only one who thinks that!!!

*AMERICAN Christmas Quiz

It would be nice if 'Knecht Ruprecht' and 'Ruprecht' were accepted for 'Krampus', as that is what it's called in Germany (excepting Bavaria, where it's called Krampus, just as it is in Austria)

I think Krampus is a monster while Knecht Ruprecht is a sinister man in dark clothes.

Ahh... I see. Then maybe (Knecht) Ruprecht shouldn't be accepted then, since the picture portrays a (non-human) monster.

I have never heard of Krampus before🤷‍♀️
