Take The Christmas Quiz

Test your knowledge of one of the holiday season's biggest days with this quiz!

It's almost Christmas time -- and that means that most of us are about to get so busy shopping that we won't even have time to think about the true meaning of Christmas until Christmas Eve. And on Christmas Eve we'll be too tired from last-minute rushing, shopping and wrapping that it'll really be too late to give it any amount of good reflection. So, let's start the holiday off on the right foot with a little quiz. Why did the early Christian Church designate Dec. 25 as the official date of Christmas?

button Santa told them to.
button To coincide with Roman winter festivals.
button Because the Bible says that's the date.
