Congratulations - you’re absolutely correct! By the way, the scoring looks like this:
15-20 correct - you don’t need any Yuletide spirit!
10-14 correct - you could use something in your stocking!
5-9 correct - are you sure you have the right holiday?
1-4 correct - surely you jest!
And what don’t we have for our winner??
