WTF... wow. I was amazed when 17 people got the final question wrong when that dude won $1 million (biggest card-giving holiday - Mother's day, Christmas, Valentine's Day - all of the 100 were women and apparently stupid)
Edit: Celebrity 1 vs 100? I see Oscar the Grouch.
the answer is mother's day.
I think that's what all of the women thought. There was that Seinfeld episode that said that the Friday before Mother's Day is the biggest mail day of the year, which is probably true. And I've heard that the most phone calls are made on Mother's Day, which is probably also true. But think about it - my mother receives 4 Mother's Day cards a year from me, my two brothers and my father. She probably receives about 30 Christmas cards. I receive zero Mother's Day cards, because I'm a guy. Same with my two brothers. But we each also receive dozens of Christmas cards. The correct answer was Christmas.
Edit: Yeah, there are people who don't celebrate Christmas, but apparently not enough to make a difference.
Edit 2: The guy who won looked like he was straight out of Anandtech. Stereotypical nerd, even admitted that he had never had a girlfriend (early 20s). He got it right because he reasoned it out.
