1. In the original "A Visit from St. Nicholas", which of these reindeer is called out by name?
	Olive	Donner
	Rudolph	Donder
Of course, Donder promptly changed his name to Donner (we think it was because the fame got to him!).
2. Saint Nicholas was born in the country we now call…
	Turkey	Holland
	Finland	Canada
According to legend, Saint Nicholas was born in the heart of the Roman Empire in Patera, Turkey.
3. Which of the following did not contribute to the idea of Saint Nick as a gift-giver?
	Martin Luther providing gifts for his children	12th century French nuns
	The winter feast of Saturnalia	Odin's habit of bringing gifts to followers
Martin Luther actually outlawed Saint Nicholas!
4. Who is famous for his Harper's magazine illustrations of Santa Claus and also introduced details such as Santa's workshop at the North Pole and the Naughty & Nice List?
	Andy Warhol	Walt Disney
	Thomas Nast	Haddon Sundblom
Nast standardized much of the perception of Santa and even added a few details, such as the North Pole workshop and Santa's List. His cartoon of Santa supporting Union troops was a major PR blow to the Confederacy.
5. Different countries have different traditions for sending letters to Santa. Which of these is NOT one of those traditions?
	Email or mail him at the North Pole	Leave the letter in the manger of the Nativity scene
	Leave the letter under their bed	Burn the letter in the fireplace
For children in the U.K. and Ireland, the smoke from their burned letters carries their wishes to Father Christmas. In Latin America, angels take the letters left beside the crèche (manger). And let's not forget about sending a letter by mail, or its modern replacement, EmailSanta!
