elitepvpers - Advent Event 2020

[Sushi]

Ho-Ho-Ho

The year is slowly coming to an end and Christmas is just around the corner. The time has come for families to spend the evenings together and eat the pastries, while it is cold and dark outside and the first snow is falling from above. This year's Christmas 2020 will be different from the years before, as we have to expect many restrictions due to Corona. Nevertheless, we try to give you a nice Christmas time with this event and slowly bring you into the Christmas mood! In the last days of the year we want to give you another chance to win great prizes.

Well. We do not care about +- a few hours. However, the time zone we follow is CET. If you put "CET time" into google, it will tell you exactly the date and time we - as event planner - have got.

You can submit each event as soon as it is published. So right now, you are allowed to submit event 1.

2. What do people traditionally put on a Christmas tree?

Whoever invented this quiz, the answer would be presents and not "gifts".
There is a difference in these 2 words.

You are totally right if the preposition would be "below" instead of "on".
However, I suggest to re-read the question

[crazedroo]

Do we send just the codeword (note letter 6 missing on picture) to the eventbot or all our answers and the codeword?

I sent both to the eventbot but I'm not sure if as a bot it will figure that out

You can send all your answers if you like to. However, the codeword is enough
I guess you'll figure out what we are looking for even with one letter less.
