Christmas Quiz - Part I
A Christmas quiz can be a fun way of spending vacation time with friends and family; learning new facts and bonding with your loved ones. People really enjoy playing a game in which everyone can participate and a Christmas quiz can become a unique way of getting your Christmas Eve party to swing. The quiz can take any form, it can have questions that become progressively difficult or it can be multiple choice. You can include some true and false questions and some questions to test your guests’ knowledge of Christmas traditions, popular culture, the Bible, and other aspects of the holiday. A Christmas quiz can persuade people to go back and see what the Bible really says or doesn’t say about the birth of Christ.
