You are correct! The Spanish name Islas Canarias means "Islands of the Dogs" and refers to the vast number of dogs inhabiting one of the islands.

Canaries is the name given to the small songbirds that populate the islands. The bird was named after the island, and not the other way around.

Well done. TBIY

correct - TBIY

from imdb trivia:

To get Jones the cat to react fearfully to the descending Alien, a German Shepherd was placed in front of him with a screen between the two, so the cat wouldn't see it at first. The screen was then suddenly removed to make Jones stop advancing and start hissing.

THE HOLIDAYS

A rusty church organ was the reason this classic Christmas carol was composed on and originally accompanied by a guitar.

HINT: The song is the most covered carol in history.

***BEEP BEEP BEEP***

What is Silent Night? It's creation was due to a flooded out church, and a young priest who brought his own lyrics. It is also the most recorded holiday carol, with over 26,000 versions.

Just wanted to add that, in review, this answer is also correct, as strawberry shortcake is also served as a Christmas tradition in Japan.

Arizona?

Nope. That would have been too easy, right?
