Prof. Felicia Hartwick Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Welcome to our Holiday Trivia game. The trivia will be a Christmas Trees, Christmas movies and Christmas songs... (see a theme here?). there will be no rhyme or reason of which question I'll throw out there each night, so you never know which will show up each night. Do not answer here. You will have 23 hours to pm me your answer. Please do not answer on the HOL Forum or the Entrance Hall, because I really don't check there for replies to trivia. It was just, as Prof. McGonagall once said, "just dumb luck" that I caught some last year. For your correct answer you will earn 3 Diamonds. On to the first question: The song, O'Tannenbaum is about a specific type of tree. Which type of tree is it about? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got swamped by at least 18 emails from former students asking if I would participate on a project they are doing for their Health class in the middle school. So I spent my evening writing 18 letters for each of them knowing they needed to get their information quickly. I will double up tonight with the Trivia questions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
