Christmas TV Specials Trivia Jar
Before it was possible to record TV shows so easily, you only got one shot at seeing the Christmas TV Specials that help make Christmas so much fun. If you missed one, it was another long year before it aired again. Today we can enjoy almost any Christmas TV Special anytime we like, but one thing hasn't changed: These happy programs still make Christmas a lot of fun! If you think you know everything there is to know about Rudolph, the Grinch, or Zuzu Bailey, this Jar is for you.
This item is a one-pint Ball Jar filled with over 70 Christmas TV Specials trivia questions and answers. The answers to each question are double folded on the right-hand end of the message strip so everyone can take a guess before revealing the answer. Christmas Specials featured are: The Polar Express, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Frosty The Snowman, A Christmas Story, It's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, and It's a SpongeBob Christmas! The Christmas Trivia Jar is color-coded so you can choose Grinch trivia (lime green), SpongeBob trivia (yellow), Frosty the Snowman trivia (white), etc. The Jar Lid Liner shows which colors correspond to which trivia questions, plus a chart showing which colors are for which Specials is also included with your Jar. Or, if you like, just randomly pull strips and be surprised!

Our Story...A few years back I wanted to give a gift to someone who was really special. She was the mom of one of my friends and she was battling cancer. I wanted to give her something that could offer her encouragement every single day, and I wanted for it to be a gift that was original, preferably handmade. I’m not sure exactly sure how the idea came to me, but what I ended up doing was giving her a two quart mason jar full of Bible verses, most of them about hope. They were typed on strips of colorful paper - over 365 in all. That way, she could pull one from the jar every day for the coming year, a year that I knew was not going to be easy. By giving her a year’s worth of verses, I was trying to let her know that I knew she would recover and be able to pull a verse every day for the entire year. I told her that after the year was over, I would refill the jar and I’m happy to say I have refilled that jar for six years now. After months of treatment she got better, and today she is still healthy and cancer free. I’m not saying the jar made the difference in her health but I do think it gave her a daily dose of inspiration, and more importantly, hope.

Since then, I have repeated this gift several times for birthdays, weddings, Mother’s Day, First Communions, Christmas gifts, and graduations. Everyone who received one loved it, and actually used it for daily inspiration. Some of them said I should sell them but I really didn’t think too seriously about it until recently when I was making one for my new neighbors. I wasn’t sure of their religion, so instead of Bible verses, I placed over 365 inspirational quotes in the jar. It then occurred to me that there were lots of things that could fill a mason jar...and Joliday Jars was born.
