1. What is Santa called in France?
	Père Noël	Père Fouettard
	Père Frost	Hans Trapp
Père Noël translates literally to "Father Christmas", Santa's name in the British Isles.
2. Which of the following is NOT another name for the gift-giving spirit of Saint Nick?
	Befana	Beelzebub
	Belsnickel	Burklaas
Befana brings gifts to Italian children and Burklaas to German children. Belsnickel used to bring presents to German-American immigrants in the 19th century.
3. When Martin Luther banned Saint Nicholas, with whom did he replace this gift giver?
	Father Christmas	Weihnachtsmann
	Grandfather Frost	Christkindle
For Martin Luther, the Christ Child himself delivered presents on the eve of his own birthday. In time, this German name, "Christkindle", evolved into "Kris Kringle", another name we use for Santa Claus today.
4. For which of these events is there no absolute proof that it happened on a Christmas Day?
	The birth of Jesus	British and German troops declared an impromptu truce in WWI and played soccer
	The King of France sends the King of England a live elephant	Mikhail Gorbachev resigns and the U.S.S.R. disintegrates
In ancient times, the date of one's death was more important than the date of their birth. Because birthdays were seldom celebrated then, no one bothered to keep records so there will always be some uncertainty as to Jesus' exact birthdate.
5. Which of these is not another one of Santa's names?
	Julesvenn	Knecht Ruprecht
	Jultomten	Joulupukki
These are Santa's names in the Nordic countries of Sweden (Jultomten), Finland (Joulupukki) and Norway (Julesvenn). Knecht Ruprecht is one of Santa's Germanic helpers.
