Question

It’s not night, but according to a Livonian belief, during this time period, werewolves take on their wolf form after being called by a boy with a lame leg. During this time period, Greek monsters called kallikantzaroi (“kahl-ee-KAHNTS-ah-roy”) appear on the earth’s surface. At either the end of this time period or the beginning of the one after, “chalking the door” is often performed. (-5[1])An urban (-5[1])legend says that Catholics sang about this time period as a coded catechism during persecution. This time period, the traditional time for (-5[1])(*) wassailing, (10[3]-5[4])includes the Feast of the (-5[1])Holy Innocents and Saint Sylvester’s (-5[1])Day. (-5[3])This time period (-5[1])lasts until Epiphany, (10[2]-5[3])which celebrates (10[3])the visit (10[1])of the Magi. (-5[1])For (-5[1])10 points, (-5[2])name this time period (-5[1])during which people receive (10[1])gifts such (-5[1])as five (10[1])golden rings (10[1])and a partridge (10[1]0[1]-5[1])in a pear tree.
