It was snowing big fluffy flakes yesterday and our office smelled like spice scented pinecones and for that brief moment I wanted to run out and buy gifts and put up my tree and everything else. In that spirit, I post this quiz, even though it came through email, because I love Christmas (even though I shouldn't even be thinking about it for another week or so.
