25/26 – Whoever wrote the bird question is either from a warm climate or the southern hemisphere. I have never seen or heard of the robin as a Christmas symbol.
Agree with your comment. It made me think for a moment.
26/26. So easy.
The robin migrates AWAY from wintery places, to return in the warm weather of spring. It is the RED BIRD or CARDINAL that is often seen on cards at Christmas.

24/26. Got a couple of snow related ones wrong. No snow where I’m from. And the seasons are opposite of course.
24 – 26.
