    There are many Christmas Traditions and Folklore’s found across Europe, spot the tradition below that does not exist?

    Le Befana, an old witch, who delivers gifts to good children and coal to bad children on Epiphany Eve

    Leftover food is kept on the table until Christmas day as some believe their ancestors might like something to eat during the night

    Some families, living on farms, leave a bowl of porridge outside for a mischievous, often offended, Elf called Nisse, which would prevent him from playing pranks on their household

    Some people believe that if you stay up on Christmas Eve and are able to spot Santa, you would receive every gift you wanted for the next year ahead


    Pretty sure it's the last one. Confirmation/correction would be nice

    I got the same question as posted by Comping Awe. I don't think this is the last one. I got "come back tomorrow", also it shows 24 numbers in the clicky advent calendar.

    Ebenezer Scrooge was known as a mean-spirited old man but there were a few contributing factors as to why he became Scrooge, this was revealed by the Ghost of Christmas Past. Which factor below is incorrect?

    His Fianc! Belle ended their relationship upon realizing his love for money above her - TRUE

    His Father was a cruel man, who did not want him around and sent him away to boarding school - TRUE

    He felt rejected by his mother after having left the family while he was a baby - I think this one

    He was left alone at boarding school while others returned home for Christmas TRUE I think

    Many talk about the 12 days of Christmas; this starts from Christmas day and leads up to Epiphany, which many also celebrate. What is the correct meaning of Epiphany?

    Joseph and Mary waited 12 days before they took baby Jesus to be baptised, therefore celebrating Epiphany, the day He was baptised

    One day is represented as each month of the year, in which people exchange gifts, leading to Epiphany which is the day people bring a gift to Jesus

    Thought to be the day that Jesus was revealed to the Gentiles, represented by the wise men

    The day that celebrates Jesus’ 30th birthday, which was the beginning of His ministry
