    Welcome to my Christmas Trivia Advent Calendar!

    I'll do my best to post a question a day with the answer following on the day after. There's a virtual Churro/Popcorn/Turkey Leg for the first correct answer and anyone caught googling the answer will get a virtual ride on Superstar Limo or Journey into Your Imagination!!!

    Today's question is: Which country did St Nicholas come from?

    (Mods, feel free to move this to games if you'd like - I just figured it would get noticed better here)!!!

    So I guess he comes from today's Turkey.

    Today's question is also a British one, but if you think obvious you'll get it, lol.

    Which Bands have had three consecutive UK Christmas No 1 singles (there are 2)?

    Both acts were/are huge across the globe and at least one has a Disney connection!!!
