Riddle: When does Christmas come before Thanksgiving?
Answer: In the dictionary
Riddle Explanation + Meaning
In the dictionary, words are organized in alphabetical order.
This means that words are listed from A to Z based on their first letters, and then the second letters if the first are the same, and so on.
Since the word "Christmas" starts with the letter "C" and "Thanksgiving" starts with the letter "T," "Christmas" comes before "Thanksgiving" in the dictionary.
This has nothing to do with the actual dates or months when these holidays are celebrated.
The riddle uses the context of the dictionary to provide a clever and unexpected answer, playing with the idea of order in a literal, rather than chronological, sense.
