Question 1: The Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego created what Christmas first?
- An electrically lit, living tree
- An artificial skating rink
- A Christmas parade float
Correct Answer: An electrically lit, living tree
Fact: While electrically lit Christmas trees are now common, that wasn’t always the case. In the early 20th century, trees were often unlit or were lit with candles. So, when San Diego’s Hotel Del Coronado strung lights on a living outdoor Christmas tree in 1904, it sparked a tradition that continues in many communities to this day, including the world-famous Rockefeller Center tree in New York.
Question 2: America’s tallest living Christmas tree is in which California city?
- Ferndale
- Sacramento
- San Diego
Correct Answer: Ferndale
Fact: The small Victorian village of Ferndale is home to America’s tallest living Christmas tree. Every year since 1934, the town’s volunteer fire department decorates the spruce, which is between 151 and 162 feet tall. The entire town of about 1,500 turns out at the beginning of December for the lighting of the tree, which is a visible reminder of the holidays for miles around.
Question 3: Which US group released its Christmas album in 1964?
- The Beach Boys
- The Byrds
- The Monkees
Correct Answer: The Beach Boys
Fact: The Beach Boys’ ‘Christmas Album’ was the band’s seventh studio LP. It quickly became a holiday favorite in the United States, reaching #6 on Billboard’s Christmas chart after its release and later going gold. With massive orchestral backing and the group’s signature vocal harmonies, the album is regarded by some music historians as one of the best rock-and-roll holiday records.
