Moratorium

Its the 20th of December and 5 days before Christmas. I am declaring a moratorium on any talk of politics till after Christmas. This coming week is for buying presents, thinking about my life, wondering about fun things, and getting ready for the holiday. ( As well as driving 500 miles to my fathers house. ).

So here is a Christmas trivia quiz. Try your best with no Googling and put your answers in the comments:
