Teen Week
The set was decorated for Christmas all week long. The words TEEN WEEK were displayed in Scrabble tiles above the contestants. MERRY CHRISTMAS was shown on the board at the end of the show. Chuck read fun teen facts all week long. This was supposedly the first Teen Week they ever did periodically, because of two consecutive Crossword Rounds being played on Monday. On Tuesday, a memorable blooper occurred during the second Crossword Round, where Chuck thought Aaron, a Jewish contestant, celebrated Christmas. He then forgot that this week was taped before Hanukkah, which began on December 18 in 1984.
