Holiday Time & the Christmas Carol Quiz - It's Almost a Tradition

It's time for the almost annual Christmas Carol Quiz.  Everybody can play before/after Christmas dinner or on Christmas Eve.  You can snap a picture of the questions and send them around the room on messenger, whatsapp, or even email if you don't have a printer to make copies.  We always have a lot of fun with this, and I hope your family does too.

This year I'm struggling to get everything 'done' for the holidays, and I won't even be cooking!  I don't know why.  Well, actually, I do.  Inside my head I'm still 40 or even 50, and I underestimate how much time EVERYTHING will take me to do when my outer body is 75. 

Here's one of my 'little projects' - a Christmas outfit for my three year old granddaughter.  The requested 'bear' purse took me as long as the skirt to make. 




I hope everyone has a holiday filled with excitement, love, leisure, food, sports, games, books, and time to reflect and to recognize your blessings.  Merry Christmas.  I'm hoping for Mercy and Peace for the New Year.  So, here it is, the quiz:
