Question:  The Hotel Darwin survived a 1974 cyclone that occurred during what holiday period? 

Context paragraphs:
Hotel Darwin: Hotel Darwin was an iconic hotel located on the Esplanade in central Darwin in the Northern Territory of Australia.  It was commonly known as the "Grand Old Duchess".  Despite surviving the Bombing of Darwin and Cyclone Tracy, the hotel was demolished in 1999.  A bar at the rear of the original site formerly known as the Hot & Cold Bar now functions under the name Hotel Darwin.

Wakes week: The wakes week is a holiday period in parts of England and Scotland.  Originally a religious celebration or feast, the tradition of the wakes week developed into a secular holiday, particularly in North West England during the Industrial Revolution.  In Scotland each city has a "trades fortnight": two weeks in the summer when tradesmen take their holidays.

Cyclone Thelma: Severe Tropical Cyclone Thelma was a tropical cyclone that affected northern Australia from 6 December 1998 until 12 December 1998.  Cyclone Thelma was one of the most intense tropical cyclones to be observed off the coast of Australia.  Thelma formed in the Arafura Sea north of the Northern Territory while intensifying rapidly into a Category 5 cyclone, passing very near the Tiwi Islands and posing a severe threat to Darwin, but fortunately passed by at a distance of 200 km .  It then moved across the Timor Sea before hitting the north Kimberley coast.  Thelma was the first known Category 5 cyclone to be observed in the Timor Sea, and was also the most intense cyclone to threaten Darwin since Cyclone Tracy on Christmas Eve in 1974.  Ten months after the storm's passage, the skull of an 81-year-old man, who was believed to have been swept away by flood waters, was discovered.

Cyclone Tracy: Cyclone Tracy was a tropical cyclone that from Christmas Eve to Christmas Day, 1974, devastated the city of Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia.  It is the most compact cyclone or equivalent-strength hurricane on record in the Australian basin and Southern Hemisphere, with gale-force winds extending only 48 km from the centre and was the most compact system worldwide until 2008 when Tropical Storm Marco of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season broke the record, with gale-force winds extending only 19 km from the centre.  After forming over the Arafura Sea, the storm moved southwards and affected the city with Category 4 winds on the Australian cyclone intensity scale, while there is evidence to suggest that it had reached Category 3 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale when it made landfall.

1990–91 Australian region cyclone season: The 1990–91 Australian region cyclone season was a slightly below average cyclone season, with ten tropical cyclones occurring within the region between 90°E and 160°E.  The season officially ran from November 1, 1990, to April 30, 1991, with the first disturbance of the season forming on 10 December and the last disturbance moving out of the region during 11 May.  Six people were killed by Cyclone Joy when it made landfall on Australia.  During the season, tropical cyclones were monitored by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, who ran Tropical Cyclone Warning Centers (TCWC) in Perth, Darwin, and Brisbane.  The United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) and Papua New Guinea National Weather Service also monitored systems within the basin during the season.  The JTWC designated systems with a number and either a S or a P suffix depending on which side of 135E.  The Bureau of Meteorology and Papua New Guinea national Weather Service both used the Australian Tropical Cyclone Intensity Scale, and estimated windspeeds over a ten-minute period, while the JTWC estimated sustained winds over a one-minute period and are comparable to the Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale.

2002–03 Australian region cyclone season: The 2002–03 Australian region cyclone season included Cyclone Inigo, which tied Cyclone Gwenda in 1999 as the most intense tropical cyclone on record in the Australian basin.  It began on 1 November 2002 and ended on 30 April 2003.  The regional tropical cyclone operational plan also defines a "tropical cyclone year" separately from a "tropical cyclone season", which runs from 1 July 2002 to 30 June 2003.  These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Australian region, which is defined as in the southern hemisphere between 90°E and 180°E.  The season's ten tropical depressions existed within these dates, with the first, designated as Tropical Cyclone 07S, entering the basin on 27 December 2002.  The last system, Cyclone Epi, dissipated on 6 June 2003.  Tropical cyclones in this area were monitored by four Tropical Cyclone Warning Centres (TCWCs): the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) in Perth, Darwin, and Brisbane and one in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.

Snoopy's Christmas: "Snoopy's Christmas" is a song performed by The Royal Guardsmen in 1967.  It continues to be played as a holiday favorite on most "oldie" radio stations; however, it is also often played on radio stations playing a Hit Music format as well as Adult Contemporary format stations.  While these stations wouldn't normally play music from this era radio stations will make exceptions to mix certain Christmas songs with the usual playlist during the Holiday period.  Due to a chart department policy instituted by "Billboard" magazine, the "Snoopy's Christmas" single never appeared in the Hot 100.  It was, however, shown at #1 on a specialty list called "Best Bets For Christmas". " Cash Box" magazine peaked the song at #10.  The publication Record World peaked the song at #17.

Sceale Bay, South Australia: Sceale Bay (formerly Yanera) (pronounced "Scale Bay") is a small town 32 km south of Streaky Bay on the Eyre Peninsula of South Australia.  With a permanent population of only 28, the town's numbers increase by threefold over the summer holiday period.  The town is primarily an isolated holiday destination, with nothing in the way of commerce or industry occurring in its bounds.  At the 2006 census , Sceale Bay had a population of 389.

2010–11 Australian region cyclone season: The 2010–11 Australian region cyclone season was a near average tropical cyclone season, with eleven tropical cyclones forming compared to an average of 12.  The season began on 1 November 2010 and ended on 30 April 2011, although the first tropical cyclone formed on 28 October.  The Australian region is defined as being to the south of the equator, between the 90th meridian east and 160th meridian east.  Tropical cyclones in this area are monitored by five Tropical Cyclone Warning Centres (TCWC's): Jakarta, Port Moresby, Perth, Darwin, and Brisbane, each of which have the power to name a tropical cyclone.  The TCWC's in Perth, Darwin, and Brisbane are run by the Bureau of Meteorology, who designate significant tropical lows with a number and the U suffix.  The Joint Typhoon Warning Center also issues unofficial warnings for the region, designating significant tropical cyclones with the "S" suffix when they form west of 135°E, and the "P" suffix when they form east of 135°E.

Public holidays in China: There are currently seven official public holidays in mainland China.  Each year's holidays are announced about three weeks before the start of the year by the General Office of the State Council.  A notable feature of mainland Chinese holidays is that weekends are usually swapped with the weekdays next to the actual holiday to create a longer holiday period.
