TEST YOUR CHRISTMAS TRIVIA SKILLZ!
Do you start listening to Christmas songs on Nov 1st? Are you like “Thank God!” when Home Depot puts up their Christmas display in October? Have you won the ugly Christmas sweater contest at work, but you were just dressing “festive” and didn’t even know there was a contest? Well, let’s see how much of a whovillian you are? (Urban Dictionary definition of whovillian: A person who LOVES Christmas and prepares for it months before it arrives. Someone who counts down to Christmas from the day after it ends. The opposite of a grinch.) Test your Christmas knowledge with this quick trivia quiz. Okay, okay, you don’t have to be that obsessed with Christmas. Just have fun and see how many answers you can get right. (Answers are listed after the events. No peeking.)
