Christmas Trivia Question 2
Band Aid - 1, 2 and 20 - "Do They Know It's Christmas?" first topped the UK charts in December 1984. Whose was the first voice heard on that original version?
The correct answer is 'Paul Young'
The Band Aid story began back in October 1984. Michael Buerk of the BBC presented a harrowing news report of people gradually starving to death in Ethiopia, which so deeply moved Boomtown Rats singer Bob Geldof that he vowed to try and do something to help. Together with Ultravox vocalist Midge Ure, Bob set about writing the song that would be the start of something very big - a song that would both touch and help millions of people. Bob and Midge galvanized the top recording artists of the day to sing on "Do They Know It's Christmas?" and the Band Aid legend was on its way with that first recording on 25th November 1984. The single's picture sleeve was designed by artist Peter Blake, the man responsible for the cover of The Beatles album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".

Time Travel Through History - We are in a room in a castle or fort and we are watching four brothers in various states of emotion.

Edward VIII signed the Articles of Abdication on the night of December 10th, 1936 at Fort Belvedere, witnessed by his three brothers, Albert, Duke of York who became King George VI, George, Duke of Kent, and Henry, Duke of Gloucester. He thus became the only British monarch to resign voluntarily. As the Duke of Windsor, he then married Wallis Simpson, the American divorcee whom he could not marry and remain king.
Christmas Trivia Question 5
Cold Weather Safety - Your kid decides to act out a scene from "A Christmas Story" and gets his tongue frozen to the metal flagpole outside. What should you do?
The correct answer is 'Pour warm water on his tongue'
If possible, pour warm water over the tongue to break the ice. If this isn't possible, blow on the area with warm air. Do NOT let the child break away from the pole, which could cause injury to his tongue. If the tongue bleeds, wrap it in clean, dry gauze. And tell him not to do any more stunts he sees in movies or TV.
