A quiz meticulously devised by Nicole Smith
1) Your favourite time of the year is..
a) Christmas time of course! You love spending time with your friends and family doing all sorts of festive activities.
b) New Years. The time of the year where you get to party-hop like it’s never been done before.
c) Every time of the year! You don’t find it fair to other times if you pick a favourite. Every day of the year is a day worth being alive.
d) A small holiday, probably Thanksgiving or Queens Birthday. You hate to think they’re less significant than other holidays
2) You put up your Christmas decorations..
a) On the 1st of December, not too early but not too late.
b) Decorations? The only decorative items you own are posters of your favourite bands.
c) In Mid-October, you can’t wait to show your flat mates how awesome their rooms look with green and red tinsel!
d) The day you finally decide to take them down. Your decorations are up year round, you see it pointless in taking them down, only having to put them back up again.
3) Your budget for Christmas gifts is..
a) Around $50-$100, it’s the thought that really counts! Plus, you’re still paying your student loan off, remember.
b) Up to $50, you don’t want to cut into your New Years savings. Anyway, people are lucky if they receive a gift from you, it shouldn’t matter you give them.
c) Christmas doesn’t have a budget! Your credit card, on the other hand, usually tells you when you’ve spent the limit.
d) Going to have to suffer a bit this year. You’re still going to be paying back money for that wicked Labour Day party you threw.
4) You hear a knock on your front door and suddenly ‘Hark the herald angels’ is being blasted through your windows by carolers. You..
a) Give them some money after their third song. While they’re here, you may as well get to hear all your favourite songs.
b) Turn on your stereo and blast over their cheerful singing, preferably with some Metalica or Iron Maiden. You then insist to get rid of the leftover Halloween candy, by throwing the candy at the singers.
c) Pull on your gumboots and reindeer ears and run out to join them, “Did someone say carols?!?”
d) Offer them $5 each if they can sing both versions of the National Anthem and recite the declaration of independence.
5) It’s Christmas Eve, and all through the house, not a creature is stirring, not even a mouse. You’re feeling..?
a) Excited, you can’t wait to give your family their gifts in the morning and see what Santa has left you.
b) Relieved, obviously your newest rat traps have worked, since you no-longer hear the pitter-patter of small feet.
c) Fabulous! Duh, it’s Christmas Eve. You’re going to sing Carols with your family and watch a seasonal movie before bed, probably A Christmas Carol.
d) Anxious, with no shops open tomorrow, you’ll have to get up extra early so that your flat mate doesn’t eat all the good food.
6) Finally, Christmas has arrived. Your house sounds like..?
a) A child’s dream, laughter and happiness are surrounding everyone inside. You’re so glad you came home for Christmas, nothings the same as Mum’s Christmas roast.
b) A death metal rave. Thanks to the Christmas Eve sales, you managed to score a wicked sound system and update your CD collection.
c) The newest Christmas Soundtrack, 2009 two-disk edition of course. It’s like a beautiful garden blooming in your ears.
d) The house in a horror movie. Silence looming around every corner as you attempt to finish building your tower of Twinkies, nicely supplied by your American friend, now classified as the best friend ever.
RESULTS:
Mostly A’s
To you, Christmas is the best time of the year. You like nothing more then spending time with your friends and family. You probably prefer giving presents more then you like receiving them. You’re a kind, caring person, probably with a nice stash of Christmas DVDs somewhere that you can’t wait to bring out to unleash the child inside of you. Try not to forget that not everyone had a childhood like yours, some people might prefer to watch other movies on the days leading up to Christmas. Be weary of your flat mates, I’m sure they like presents, but don’t leave them to clean up the tinsel on the floor.
Mostly B’s
Although you don’t really like Christmas, you decided to take this Quiz anyway. Maybe it’s because you didn’t read the title. You’re a bit like the Grinch, except you wouldn’t back down to an eight year old girl, and if you stole Christmas, no-one would get it back. You’re misunderstood, but nice on the inside, when people get to know you that is. You have your ways, which some people don’t understand and this doesn’t bother you. You enjoy being the sour grape of the bunch, it amuses you and you use this to your advantage. Underneath all those dark clothes, and heavy metal ways of yours, you’re a good person, but there are some things you need to remember. Some people enjoy Christmas, so let them enjoy it and don’t throw left over Halloween candy at the small ones.
Mostly C’s
Well aren’t you a bundle of cuddly, happy, holiday joy.? Did someone say Christmas? Yeah, that was probably you. You can’t get enough of Christmas; it’s like your Edward-Cullen drug, only more sparkly and less stupid. You love a little festivity and believe that less is not more. To you, the more Christmas there is the better it is. From carol singing, volunteer gift wrapping, joyful dancing and decorating, you love it all. It wouldn’t surprise anyone in turn if you started celebrating Hanukkah, just for the heck of celebrating longer. You try as hard as you can to push through the happiness of Christmas to everyone around you. Sometimes though, you need to stop and take a breath, the bubble of Christmas spirit surrounding you can get a bit overwhelming for others.
Mostly D’s
Did you even take this Quiz? Or did you just cheat and read the answers? Either way, if it says Christmas, you probably weren’t too interested. You’re a bit lazy when it comes to being normal, so it doesn’t surprise anyone when you forget their birthdays. You only enjoy Christmas for two reasons. Firstly, because you get free gifts with a friendship, this pleases you immensely. Secondly because Kwanzaa, a week-long holiday honoring African heritage, starts on the 26th of December, and with every day nearing to Christmas, is a day getting closer to your 4th favourite holiday of the year. Next time people talk about Christmas, try not to turn your nose up at them, and maybe they’ll listen when you start talking about Thanksgiving or what not.
