Answer: Santa Claus

The gift-giving secular Christmas figure Santa Claus is known for flying around the world on Christmas Eve and entering homes via their chimneys to leave presents for the children that live there. One possible origin of Santa's chimney tradition lies in the folklore tale of Saint Nicholas tossing coins into peoples' homes via windows and chimneys. Jan Steen's painting "The Feast of Saint Nicholas" was painted sometime around the year 1665, and depicts children staring up the chimney of their home.

Answer: St. Bernard

In the 1992 film, a family adopted a lovable but mischievous St. Bernard. The father of the family (played by Charles Grodin) initially disliked the dog, but grew to love him and helped save him from being put down. A sequel featuring the same family, "Beethoven's 2nd", was released in 1993, and involved Beethoven finding a girlfriend and having puppies. Several other direct-to-video sequels were released between 2000 and 2008, involving different actors and characters.

Answer: Livestrong bracelets

The "Livestrong" initiative was started in 2004 by world famous cyclist, and cancer survivor, Lance Armstrong. Yellow gel bracelets with the word 'Livestrong' imprinted on them are sold to raise money for the Lance Armstrong Foundation, which provides support for cancer patients and their families.

The colour was chosen because yellow is the colour of the jersey worn by the leader in the Tour de France.

Answer: Everclear

The song comes from their 2003 album "Slow Motion Daydream". It's a song about women, who used to be hardcore partiers in their younger days, who sold out and married well-to-do men, got a house in the suburbs, and drive their kids to soccer practice in their Volvos. Volvo is a Swedish car company.

Answer: Circadian rhythm

A circadian rhythm is natural internal clock. In most people, their circadian rhythm is an approximately 24-hour cycle, and regulates eating, biological functions and most importantly, sleep. Circadian rhythms can be 'retrained' or changed with cues, however. One example is people who work night shift - they must train their natural rhythm to sleep during the day and be alert and active at night.

This is made easier by working at night with bright lights, and using a sleep mask to mimic darkness in the morning or daytime.

Answer: Chocolate

A potato salad, typically a side dish, is made out of boiled potatoes and generally has a creamy dressing, based on any combination of mayonnaise, Miracle Whip, buttermilk, mustard, etc. Pretty much any vegetable you have on hand can go in potato salad; celery, pickles, green pepper and herbs are common.

Some varieties call for chopped hard-boiled eggs to make a potato-and-egg salad. Bacon or ham is also common, especially in some German potato salads. Though some people prefer to serve some varieties warm, potato salad is typically served chilled or at room temperature.

Answer: Turban

Though commonly associated with the Netherlands, tulips actually come from the Ottomon Empire. The original English word 'tulipa' comes from the French 'tulipe', which in turn comes from the Turkish 'tulbend' (meaning 'gauze'), which ultimately came from the Persian word 'turban'.

The actual name of the flower, however, is 'lale' in Persian and Turkish. Tulips were introduced to Western Europe sometime around the 1550s.

The show centred on him, his wife and his three kids, as well as a few other key residents.

Answer: Think logically and consider other people's perspectives

Piaget's Theory on Cognitive Development consists of four stages. The first stage, from birth to about age two, is the sensimotor stage. In this stage children develop their simple reflexes, start to explore objects around them, and realize that their actions can effect their surroundings. For example, by the beginning of a child's second year, he should be able to figure out that if pressing a certain button his toy produces a noise he likes, pressing it again will make the noise again.

The next stage is the pre-operational stage, and it takes place approximately from age 2-6. Imagination is a big part of this stage - children can imagine scenarios and form thoughts or opinions about objects/people who are not actually present. However, egocentrism is still present in children at this age and they have trouble understanding the concept of perspective.

Ages 7-11 fall into the concrete operational stage. The big development of this stage is that children can use logic to determine, for example, that an amount of water poured from one container into another remains the same, even if the second container is shaped differently and makes the water level look higher. Egocentrism also weakens significantly in this stage, and children are able to recognize, for example, that someone sitting on the opposite side of the table from them has a different view of the room.

The final stage persists through adolescence and is called the formal operational stage. It is in this stage where children's cognition develops to understand abstract thoughts and hypothesis, and make intelligent deductions using reasoning.
