Christmas gift

 * ... that the tradition of Christmas gifts can be traced to ancient Roman Saturnalia?? Source: https://books.google.com/books?id=mo8vgZoROl8C&pg=PT88&dq=giving+gifts+wise+men&hl=en
 * Reviewed: Cabaret du Néant
 * Comment: This could use much more content, but I may not have time to do it. Should be enough for a DYK, I hope. --Piotrus


 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough (Article became a non-redirect on 1 December 2017 by Piotrus), long enough (3,983 characters "readable prose size"), fully referenced. Hook, well duh, but okay. QPQ done. Image appropriately licensed. Hold for Christmas (25 December)  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  05:58, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg I think you can do better with the hook. How about:
 * ALT1: ... that one-quarter of respondents to a 2016 survey of Europeans said they had re-gifted their Christmas presents to someone else? Yoninah (talk) 22:01, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
 * As the nominator, I have no objections to the alt hook, but I guess it needs a re-review. Ping User:Hawkeye7. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  11:24, 20 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Wouldn't this article be more appropriately named "Christmas present" per WP:COMMONNAME? Gatoclass (talk) 15:04, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
 * This is likely a question for the talk page. I have no preference, but I'll be looking forward to seeing proof that one is more common than the other. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 15:26, 20 December 2017 (UTC)


 * It seems that "Christmas gift" is more common than I realized, at least on the net. I never hear it used in conversation though. But yes, it looks like a less simple issue to resolve than I anticipated. Gatoclass (talk) 15:54, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Reviewer needed ASAP for ALT1. Yoninah (talk) 23:27, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg ALT1 hook verified against online source. Good to go!  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  01:31, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
