Wow. I am ashamed of my score!!! Guess I better stock up on christmas movies and clear my schedule for this weekend! Embarrassing I tell ya! Downright shameful!
Hmmm...a paltry 5. But I can quote almost all of Home Alone, so I figure that should count for something...
Wow, I did pretty bad. I didn't even count up my score for fear that I might be living it up with the Grinch and Max the dog. (that is his name, right?) Do I get a bonus point for that?
I guess you know that 25 was impossible since there were only 20 questions? My disclaimer is that my score doesn't reflect my enthusiasm and love of Christmas - only my poor memory for details. I got all the Bible questions right though - and some of the others. You will be impressed to know though, that at the ward Christmas party I gained a new reputation as the Christmas Carol expert of the ward.
I failed miserably. But enjoyed taking the quiz - does that give me bonus points? No? Well what if I say that your Christmas card made my heart happy? I thought so.
