Here we go ladies and gents. The first challenge for the holiday edition of survivor.
I was thinking to myself when I was first trying to come up with a new game 'How do other people celebrate Christmas, or at least the season if not actual Christmas' so I found an "online scavenger hunt". I will post two sets of questions. One set for each team. Between the four of you you must answer the questions.
This will probably be the only time I allow you to use the full resources of the internet at your disposal to fine the answers. With one exception. Since I found the actual questions online using that site to answer the questions is forbidden. Now as you well know I won't be able to tell if you have or have not used that site but I'm counting on your honesty. This is just an online game. No money or actual prizes will exchange hands so please use the Christmas spirit and don't cheat.
Ok...point system:
Each question answered = 1 point Each question answered with a link leading to a picture or explanation = 2 points Each question answered with an actual picture posted = 3 points.
The team with the most points at the end of the game period wins the reward. You all have until Thursday morning 11am my time. Any answers posted after that time will not be counted. Remember you are working in teams. However you guys work that out is up to you.
And what is the reward you may ask? I'll tell you.
All the wood you'll need to keep you warm for the duration, plus a camp coffee pot complete with powdered hot chocolate.
Ready for the questions? Here we go:
Scavenger hunt for Barracks 21a:
1. What kind of trees are decorated at Christmas time in India?
2. Christmas trees are not commonly used in Greece. What is the main symbol of the season in most Greek homes?
3. In Holland, what do children leave in their shoes as a gift for Sinterklaas's horse? 4. Latvians claim to be the first to use Christmas trees. In what year was the first documented use of a Christmas tree in Latvia?
5. Mattak, a special delicacy, is eaten in Greenland at Christmas. What is mattak made from and what do people say it tastes like?
6. In Sweden Christmas celebrations begin on St. Lucia's Day. What is the date of this special day?

In Austria, a bell is rung after Christmas Eve dinner to signal the opening of a locked door. What are children permitted to see for the first time behind the locked door? 10. In addition to musical instruments, what do Greek children sometimes carry when they go caroling?
11. Why does the country of Norway give a big Christmas tree to the United Kingdom each year? 12. In the Czech Republic, what do children do when they think they hear St. Nicholas coming? 13. What foods do families in Switzerland share after the traditional midnight mass? 14. What do children do with their shoes in Spain on January 5? 15. In Hungary, Christmas is celebrated twice. What are the dates for these celebrations?

Oh, oh, oh! Are you gone? Cuz I got questions. You knew there was going to be questions; you had to know.
Channeling Scrappy, channeling Scrappy, channeling Scrappy.
Sh!t. The connections gone dead.
Ok, Hostess Poppet Probstess...if you come back, my question is this...how do we know which site you used, so we don't use it? No really, I'm not trying to be a pain in the @ss, cuz I don't even have to try at that; it just comes naturally. It's just that two-minute drilling one of the questions, I found what I thought might be the answer, but wasn't quite sure. So I moved onto site number two in the drill, and the answer was there and worded exactly like your question, which was kind of an odd wording, I think. (which was a different answer than site number one, and damn, number one had a photo; site number two did not)
Huh? What am I talking about?
I'm thinking it's probably a good thing I rarely raised my hand in school.

Phalon: Does the site/s contain this?
Maybe that's the clue?

Post by katina2nd on Dec 14, 2009 23:14:17 GMT -6
Yep, I'm not trying to be a pain in the @ss either but that's the same question I came up with while reading the terms and conditions.
You raised your hand in school Gams, although rarely, sheesh that's more then I did, never volunteer for nothin' was my motto.
;D

Post by Phalon on Dec 15, 2009 5:48:26 GMT -6
You had the same question, Katina. Whew! At least there are two of us pains in the @ss; somehow it makes me feel better that I'm not alone in that category. Which am I, I wonder - left cheek pain, or right?
I checked with the Hostess and Joxie's right.

Post by katina2nd on Dec 15, 2009 22:56:08 GMT -6
That's a cheeky question Gams, butt I'll refrain from answering it if you don't mind. I came across this site while checking for answers .... www.henry.k12.ga.us/pges/projects/around.htmthat's the site Scrappy got her questions from [ I'm pretty sure ] so if anyone accidently stumbles across it you'll know to beat a hasty retreat ........ and don't worry, I didn't check any of the answers. I see Jox has created "Secret Whoosh Island Contestant Boards" so I'm not sure if I should wait or what, but what the heck, in for a penny in for a pound, here's the answers [ hopefully correct ] to a few of the questions. 3. In Holland, what do children leave in their shoes as a gift for Sinterklaas's horse? Answer ... Hay, carrots and sugar? 6. In Sweden Christmas celebrations begin on St. Lucia's Day. What is the date of this special day? Answer ... December 13? 11. What is Santa Claus called in Madagascar? Answer ... 'Dadabe Noely? 13. In Iceland, people celebrate 13 days of Christmas beginning on ______________ and ending on __________________. Answer ... December 24 - January 6? Hope I didn't jump the gun or get ahead of myself, but I figured I'd get the ball rolling.

Just thought I'd jump in...not to interfere with the ongoing game but to verify the correctness of joxies assumption and Kat's link. The link he sent is the site I used for both tests. So as long as you aren't using that one to get your direct answers you're fine.
BTW....you guys are doing great keep it up.

Post by Mini Mia on Dec 16, 2009 2:07:11 GMT -6
We've been working together, and I've been voted to post all the answers. I hope that's okay?
Here's the first 5:
1. What is the shape of the popular buche de Noel cake made in France at Christmas time?[/u][/url]. This one is a heavenly flourless chocolate cake rolled with chocolate whipped cream. Traditionally, Buche de Noel is decorated with confectioners' sugar to resemble snow on a Yule log." [/ul] 2. What are the most popular Christmas tree decorations in China? [/u][/url]. [/ul] 3. Why are candles placed in the windows of Irish homes on Christmas Eve? [/u][/url]. Often the task of lighting the Christmas Eve candle falls upon the head of household. Additionally, an Advent calendar and candles add a nice touch. Decorations remain up until Epiphany, January 6." "In the days when it was illegal (and dangerous) to practice the Catholic faith in Ireland because of the oppressive Penal Laws, the candle in the window of Irish homes at Christmas also signaled traveling priests that this was a home where they would be welcome and where they could safely conduct the traditional Irish Catholic Christmas Mass." [/ul] 4. According to tradition in Belgium, how does St. Nicholas travel from house to house delivering gifts to children? [/u][/url]. | That's also the reason why many children place a carrot into their shoes so that the horse has something to eat." In some cases it's a donkey. [/ul] 5. On what date does the Christmas holiday season begin in Armenia? [/noubbc]]Source #1[/url] Source #2"[url=www.thefreelibrary.com/LONGER+HOLIDAY+SEASON+ARMENIANS+MARK+TRADITIONAL+DATE+OF+CHRIST%27S...-a095937632] All of the churches used to celebrate Christmas on Jan. 6[/url], but in 460 A.D. it was changed by the pope to Dec. 25," said Rev. Father Hrant Yeretsian of Montebello's Holy Cross Armenian Apostolic Church. "We follow according to the tradition of our first church." [/ul]
BTW: I'm not expecting 3 points per picture on the same question. So if one question has 3 images, I only expect 3 points for the collective. Same goes for more than one link per question. (Just thought I should state that.) [/font]

Here's the second 5:
6.Who brings gifts for good children in Italy?[/u][/url] and charcoal or bags of ashes to naughty children in the night between the 5th and 6th of January)." "In Italy "La Befana" is a good witch who dresses all in black. Children leave their shoes by the fireplace on the eve of January 6th. Befana comes down the chimney on her broomstick to leave gifts." La Befana: Babbo Natale: Gesù Bambino: [/ul] 7. What are "chicken bones" in Canadian Christmas celebrations? [/u][/url]. You melt them in your mouth and once melted, they reveal a creamy milk chocolate center." prostores2.carrierzone.com/servlet/ganong/Detail?no=26www.notestoself.us/2008/07/hearts-and-bones.html[/ul]8. What do people in Costa Rica use to decorate their homes for Christmas? [/u][/url] Special trips are made to gather wild orchids blooming in the jungle areas. The manger scene is called a portal and is decorated with these brilliant flowers and colorful fresh fruit. Wreaths of cypress leaves and red coffee berries are very popular. The supper after Midnight Mass consists of tamales and other local dishes. Children used to leave their shoes out for the Christ Child to fill, but Santa Claus is relieving Him of this task now." " During Christmas in Costa Rica, people like to decorate their houses with beautiful tropical flowers. A model of the nativity scene, called the Pasito or Portal, is the center of the display. It's also decorated with flowers and sometimes fruit. Some of the scene take a long time to make and all the family is involved. As well as the traditional figures, people add other models including houses and lots of different sorts of animals."[/ul] www.northpolesantaclaus.com/worldtraditions.htm#Costa%20Rico9. In Austria, a bell is rung after Christmas Eve dinner to signal the opening of a locked door. What are children permitted to see for the first time behind the locked door? [/u][/url] is waiting all decorated with candles, ornaments and candies. The whole family sings Christmas carols and wishes each other: - FROLICHE WEIHNACHTEN!" "Following the dinner a bell is rung which opens the door to the lit up Christmas tree. The Christmas tree is highly decorated with glittering lights, gold and silver garlands, colored ornaments and of course candies and cookies. Beneath the tree are kept mangers that have been handed down through the generations." [/ul] 10. In addition to musical instruments, what do Greek children sometimes carry when they go caroling? [/u][/url] Carrying a boat is a very old custom in the Greek Islands." "At that time, children sang carols while carrying boat models in honor of the God Dionyssos.

Here is 1-5 for Team 21a (Go team!!!) 1. Banana or Mango trees. living.oneindia.in/christmas/2006....lebrations.html(fake or not, that is a banana tree) 2. Christmas trees are not commonly used in Greece. In almost every home the main symbol of the season is a shallow wooden bowl with a piece of wire is suspended across the rim; from that hangs a sprig of basil wrapped around a wooden cross. A small amount of water is kept in the bowl to keep the basil alive and fresh. Once a day, a family member, usually the mother, dips the cross and basil into some holy water and uses it to sprinkle water in each room of the house. This ritual is believed to keep the Killantzaroi away from the house. There is a tradition kallikantzeri, where the mischievous goblins appear from the earth during the 12 days of Christmas. www.santas.net/greekchristmas.htmBut....there is also this... www.explorecrete.com/traditions/christmas.htmToday almost everyone buys and decorates a Christmas tree in Greece, whether it be real or artificial. Use of decorated greenery and branches around New Year is recorded as far back as in Greek antiquity. In older times, this custom did not exist in Crete and in some other parts of Greece they would decorate little boats instead. This is a (not so little) boat alongside a Christmas tree in Greece 3. Traditionally, in the weeks between his arrival and December 5, before going to bed, children put their shoes next to the fireplace chimney of the coal fired stove or fireplace, or, in modern times, next to the central heating. The shoe is to have a carrot or some hay in it and a bowl of water "for Sinterklaas' horse," and the children sing a Sinterklaas song; the next day they will find some candy or a small present in their shoes. When a house has no chimney, Sinterklaas or Black Pete is said to enter using his special key that fits on every door in the Netherlands. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinterklaas4. The first documented use of an evergreen tree in a Christmas celebration was in Riga, Latvia, in the year 1510 according to many sources. www.firstchristmastree.com/5. Mattak is made from chicken feet with rice and yellow beans. Some reliable candidates say that the delicacy tastes like crunchy spinich. And chicken poo. Raw mattak is also the fatty skin of the beluga whale. High concentrations of contaminants are found in mattak. www.santas.net/greenlandchristmas.htm(appetitizing, isn't it?)

Here's the last 5:
11. Why does the country of Norway give a big Christmas tree to the United Kingdom each year?[/u][/url]." "Since 1947 the people of Norway have presented Britain each year with a Norwegian Christmas Tree. It is given to thank Britain for supporting Norway during the Second World War." [/ul] 12. In the Czech Republic, what do children do when they think they hear St. Nicholas coming? [/u][/url], hoping that they will get good presents." [/ul] 13. What foods do families in Switzerland share after the traditional midnight mass? [/u][/url]" [/ul] 14. What do children do with their shoes in Spain on January 5? [/u][/url], and in the secret of the night, the Three Wise Men pass leaving gifts. January 6th, Epiphany is heralded with parades in various cities where candy and cakes are distributed to throngs of children." [/ul] 15. In Hungary, Christmas is celebrated twice. What are the dates for these celebrations? [/u][/url] "Hungarian people celebrate Christmas twice! The first time is December 6th - [The] second Christmas is December 25th." Holidays and Observances:
Saint Nicholas Day: December 6 Christmas Day: December 25 [/ul] [/font]

6. Lucia Day ' aka Saint Lucy's Day ' on December 13 ranks among the most important days on the Swedish calendar. It honors a young Christian girl, martyred in ancient Rome, who is always portrayed with her head encircled by a halo of lights. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Lucia_Day7. Fried chicken is often eaten on Christmas day. It is the busiest time of year for restaurants such as KFC and people can place orders at their local fast food restaurant in advance!!! The traditional Japanese christmas food is christmas cake, but it's not a rich fruit cake, but is usually a sponge cake decorated with strawberries and whipped cream. whychristmas.com/cultures/japan.shtml(It tastes like chicken) No, no....this one.

8. The traditional Christmas greeting in Punjabi is 'Bara Din Mubarrak Ho', which means, 'the blessing of Christmas on you'. www.whychristmas.com/cultures/pakistan.shtml(church in Pakistan where you would greet someone with 'Bara Din Mubarrak Ho'.) 9. In Serbia and Montenegro, the Church is the Orthodox Church. In this Church they still use the old 'Julian' Calendar, which means that Christmas Eve in on 6th January and Christmas Day in on the 7th January! whychristmas.com/cultures/serbia.shtml(Serbs greeting each other on Christmas Day, January 7th.) 10. Some people fast (don't eat anything) on Christmas Eve, until the first star has appeared in the sky. People then eat 'sochivo' (a dish made from wheat or rice with honey and fruit). The Russian word for Christmas Eve 'sochelnik', comes from the word 'sochivo'. People then go to the midnight services. whychristmas.com/cultures/russia.shtml

Whew! Made it! 11. In Madagascar, Santa Claus is called 'Dadabe Noely'. www.answerbag.com/q_view/12128Apparently “Dadabe Noely” (which means Grandfather Christmas; I think that sounds so sweet) is an elusive fellow. An extensive two-minute drill, which lasted way, way, way more than two minutes, produced which is what appears to be the only image of Dadabe Noely ever found: 12. There is the tradition of the 'roraty', special masses (or communion services) held at dawn and dedicated to Mary for receiving the good news from the angel Gabriel. whychristmas.com/cultures/poland.shtml13. This is a tricky one, and the answer is different depending on how you look at it, (and which of the many sites from a 15 minute drill is used; yeah, scrap the two minute drill for this game - and even a 15 minute drill is shaving off about 15 minutes of actual time spent). In Iceland, the land of ice and snow, there are thirteen Santa Clauses! Thirteen days before Christmas, the first Santa comes down from the mountains and goes round every single house to put little treats in children's shoes while they sleep. The next day the second one comes to town and so on. Then on the 25th the first one goes back, the next day the second one goes back. The 6th of January is called "the thirteenth" and is classed as the last day of Christmas because that day the last Santa goes back home. So, it is either the thirteen days the Jolasveinarnir (Yule Lads) make their journeys to deliver their gifts….December 12th through the 24th. Or the thirteen days of their journeys home – 25th through the 6th of January. www.christmas-day.org/christmas-in-iceland.htmlwww.simnet.is/gardarj/(links are to the two different ways of viewing it) (each of the Yule Lads has a different title: this is the fourth one – the Pot-Scraper Licker or Þvörusleikir) 14. Japanese oranges have a special meaning to the people who live in the Canadian Prairies. A gift from the East, their arrival at the coldest time of the year has brightened many homes and Christmas feasts for 110 years. www.virtualmuseum.ca/Exhibitions/Noel/angl/basnoel.htm15. From December 16th to Christmas Eve, children often perform the 'Posada' processions or Posadas. Posada is Spanish for Inn or Lodging. There are nine Posadas. These celebrate the part of the Christmas story where Joseph and Mary looked for a room in an Inn. For the Posadas, the outside of houses are decorated with evergreens, moss and paper lanterns. Although the custom of putting up a Christmas tree has become very popular, the real Mexican tradition consists of setting up a nativity scene. gomexico.about.com/od/festivalsholidays/p/christmas.htm(traditional Mexican nativity scene)

After your eyes had about fallen out of their eye head-holes from this extensive assignment (game?), I can easily imagine 'Bara Din Mubarrak Ho' probably didn't strike you as very funny. However, since I didn't come close to getting this far in the questionaire/mall opinion poll ("It will only take about ten minutes, I promise. Now if you'll follow me to this bare, boring room behind this As Seen On TV! store and down the long artificially lit hall with a lot of unmarked doors and past the public bathrooms, where I'm actually going to try and sell you something...") ....
Where was I? Oh yes. You want me to bare what? *slap!* And I'm not your ho, pimp! What was that? Ohhhh, no comma. Well that changes everything. I thought you told me to Bara Dem Mubarraks, Ho. No idea what mubarraks are but I'm pretty good at using context. Oh ho ho ho well, you can surmise that I don't travel well.

Ok...I'd imagine from the multiple phone calls I got about this particular game that my zeal got the better of me and that you all are ready to mutiny the island. I wholeheartedly apologize to you all for the daunting assignment and promise you all an A on your term paper. Seriously. I was fun reading what you all came up with and I appreciate the huge effort that went into it. I promise the next game will not be so....um......long? *sigh.....apologies contestants I do promise to make it up to you. All shall be revealed at the end.
On to the scoring. I was firm but fair I can assure you. And I hope everyone will take my word for it without my having to actually post each and every question with accompanying point value. I can if you like. I did write them all down. But I'm guessing everyone wants to just move on.
So here we go: (Please keep in mind that I am using the answers provided for me on the original tests)
Team 21a = 81points Team 21b = 79points
It was a close call. In the end it came down to 21b's lack of picture on one question and question #3 was only partially right.
Also I just gotta ask....Phalon? Did you even read your link for answer number 5? That one cost you a few points for sure....lol Chicken poo?
Anyhow, looks like Camp 21 a gets the reward. A pile-o-wood and also some hot chocolate and a pot to cook it in. Plus I'm throwing in a bonus for all the efforts. Coffee. Yes coffee for the coffee pot.
21b....I have a prize for you too just because you also did very well and it really was a close call. You get to also have a big pile-o-wood for your stove.
Congratulations everyone! Look for the elimination challenge to be posted tomorrow night.

Yes, I purposely chose to skim by that phrase and not stare too intently at it for fear my mind would take me down that dim artificially-lit hallway of Hos and Dem Bare Mubbaracks. (and of course, for the reason my eye-balls had fallen out of my head by that time.)
I did however, vaguely wonder what exactly kind of pot the Yule Lad Licker/Scraper was licking/scraping and if that was the reason for his bent-kneed stance and funny clothing. And then, since my fallen eye-balls were blurry even on the ground where they then laid, and my brain was tired, I vaguely wondered if he had any left.
Of course, I read the link. I found it. I would have posted the chicken poo link instead if I had found that one. And if the question would have fallen any further down in this epic Odd-essay, I probably would have posted a chicken poo photo instead of the whale hide squares of ick.
