Christmas Trivia



Below, you will find 30 Christmas trivia questions that I rounded-up from various sources.

A few of them are easy-peasy.

A few of them are real stumpers.


I figure anyone who gets 15-20 of them is a true Christmas fan, and anyone who gets more than 20 is an absolute Christmas rock star!

Enjoy.


Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
