Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. A tall thin man with a little beard, wearing a top hat, and red, white and blue clothing, steps on stage. Looks like he's getting ready to set off some fireworks. What is his holiday?

Answer: Fourth of July

On the Fourth of July, or Independence Day, we remember when the founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and began the USA as a country separate from England. Uncle Sam, an imaginary person, represents the country with his red, white and blue outfit.
2. Next comes a ghost who's wearing a sheet over his head. He's carrying a plastic pumpkin that's already half full of candy. What is his holiday?

Answer: Halloween

Even ghosts like to dress up in costumes and collect candy on Halloween, October 31. It used to include some mean pranks like overturning outhouses and other vandalism, but now it's more about fun things like parties and candy. Some people celebrate it as Samhain, a religious holiday.
3. A jolly fat fellow, dressed for the cold in a fur-trimmed red suit, drives on stage in a sleigh pulled by reindeer. What is his holiday?

Answer: Christmas

Santa Claus, with his elves, reindeer, and North Pole toy factory, symbolizes Christmas to all good boys and girls. Christians also celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday focused on the birthday of the central figure of their religion, Jesus Christ.
4. Next is a real person, maybe someone in your family or a neighbor, who gave his or her life serving our country. As you enjoy cookouts and ballgames on this holiday, pause and remember all who fought for their country. What is this person's holiday?

Answer: Memorial Day

Memorial Day began as a holiday in the US to decorate graves of those who were killed in the Civil War, but has since been expanded as a day to remember veterans of all wars.
5. A man in a powdered wig and old fashioned clothes invites on stage another man who's tall and thin, with a top hat that makes him look even taller. "This holiday used to celebrate my birthday only," says the first man, "but I don't mind sharing." What is this holiday?

Answer: Presidents' Day

George Washington's birthday used to be celebrated on his actual birthday, February 22. But now the holiday falls on the third Monday of February, to give everyone a long weekend. Washington has never complained about renaming the holiday Presidents' Day and celebrating President Lincoln's February 12 birthday on the same day, or recognizing any other presidents either.
6. Next is a big white rabbit with a basket of colored eggs that he's trying to hide, before the children wake up. His holiday is in the spring, but on a different day each year. What is his holiday?

Answer: Easter

Many people celebrate Easter with hidden eggs and stories about the Easter Bunny. The holiday is sacred to Christians, who commemorate the day that Jesus rose from the dead.
7. A real person, a man wearing a suit and tie, steps up. He says, "My holiday is on my birthday in January, but I wish that people would remember year round the dream I had about black and white people getting along better." What is his holiday?

Answer: Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

Martin Luther King, Jr. inspired many people with peaceful ways to bring blacks and whites together. He is most famous for his "I have a dream" speech at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. in 1963.
8. An old man with a long gray beard holding an hourglass, and a toddler in diapers come on stage. They both are wearing ribbons. The old man's is printed with this year, and the baby's is printed with next year. What is this holiday?

Answer: New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve is celebrated with parties at midnight, when the date officially changes. The old man is a symbol of the old year, with the hourglass showing the passage of time, and the baby symbolizes all the promise of the new year.
9. Your mother arrives. You didn't even know she was here! "Aw, you don't need to do anything special for me today, even if it is my holiday," she says. What is this holiday?

Answer: Mothers' Day

Mothers always say that, though they'd love a nice meal, a present or just a homemade card. Anna Jarvis fought to have the second Sunday in May declared Mothers' Day and achieved it in 1914, but attacked the commercialization that almost immediately began.
10. A Pilgrim in black and white clothes, and a Native American in loincloth and feathers step on stage together. They look at each other, fall silent a minute, then shrug and say, "Want some pumpkin pie?" What is this holiday?

Answer: Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Day in November commemorates the pilgrims who landed at Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts, and the helpful Indians who aided their survival. So many myths have grown up around the first Thanksgiving that it's better to enjoy the day as a time where family gathers, everyone eats a lot, then plays games or watches football. Studying the early history is fun too, but it wasn't exactly the way many Thanksgiving myths portray it.
