Christmas Quiz

We know everything there is to know about Christmas, right? Maybe yes. Maybe no. Here's a fun family quiz with a dozen questions to test your knowledge about Christmas that will help you separate fact from tradition and sometimes, plain fiction. The following are all true or false questions…

1. The innkeeper in Bethlehem told Mary and Joseph, "There's no room for you in the inn."

2. Jesus was born inside a barn/stable.

3. Xmas is a disrespectful abbreviation for Christmas – taking Christ – so to speak out of Christmas.

4. Jesus wasn't really born on December 25.

5. "The little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes…" (from Away in a Manger).

6. The "wise men" followed the star in the sky to the manger where Jesus was.

7. The "wise men" who found Jesus were not kings.

8. A 'manger' is a stable for domestic animals.

9. The first candy cane was made to be a visible reminder of who Jesus is and what He has done for us.

10. The Bible says that three "wise-men" visited Jesus.

11. Our nation's earliest colonies insisted on making Christmas a holiday.
