Quiz: Are You a Soldier in the War on Christmas?
If you are reading this, it means you have withstood the first assault of the War on Christmas. We have taken the words of various talk show hosts and politicians to heart and are currently in our Christmas bunker, waiting for the unrelenting attacks from the sinister pleasantry, "Happy Holidays" to end. Unlike most wars, the War on Christmas is so subtle, people may be participating in it without even being aware. That's why we've made the following quiz, which will help you determine whether or not you are currently fighting in what was Christopher Hitchens' second-favorite war.
Please answer honestly, the future of Christmas is at stake:
Two weeks before Christmas Day you:
a) Bought a Christmas tree
b) Watched Miracle on 34th Street to get in the mood
c) Made a wish list
d) Defecated on a mall Santa's lap
Complete the following sentence: "Merry..."
a) "...Christmas"
b) "...is the day Christ was born"
c) "...merry, hallelujah"
d) "...same-sex marriage"

a) Sat front row
b) Assisted with set design and make-up

Time to tally your points: "A" answers= 0 points, "B"= 5 points, "C"= 3 points, and "D"= 7 points.
If your total score is more than 15, that means nothing because the War on Christmas is a very silly thing, isn't it? Go back to enjoying the day, everyone, no ideological warfare to see here.
