You definitely have some Christmas spirit, and you enjoy the holidays as much as the average person.
You don't go over the top celebrating, and by December 26th, you're ready to pack away your decorations, and don't want to hear another Christmas carol till next Dec. 24th! LOL!.

You have your own special Christmas traditions, and you tend to pick and choose what you like about Christmas.
The holidays are important to you, but you don't let them take over your life.....and that's the truth! :D

That seems low....perhaps the unchecked "CAREFULLY wrapping presents" box brought me down ;) And of course I don't have extended family members to get in touch with....no aunts or uncles or living grandparents.

READ: 1 Corinthians 15:1-8

I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you. —1 Corinthians 15:1

Did you ever notice how quickly things get old or outdated?

I thought about this the other day as I taught my class at a Christian college. They’re on the cutting edge by providing a laptop computer for each student. It wasn’t too long ago when it was innovative for a college to have computers for students in the library. Then it was cutting edge to provide them for dorm rooms. But someday even personal laptops will become obsolete as well.

Everything man creates will eventually go out of date. Everything gets old. Everything, that is, but the gospel. The gospel is over 2,000 years old. And though there have been a lot of updated Bible translations, the gospel is still as relevant today as it was when it was written.

The gospel is this: Jesus Christ came to earth, lived a perfect life, gave up His life by being sacrificed on a cross, was buried in a borrowed tomb, and was raised from the dead 3 days later (1 Cor. 15:1-4). Because He took our punishment for sin on Himself, He can forgive our sins and make us children of God if we put our faith and trust in Him (Acts 13:38-39).

Let the greatest story ever told make you brand-new—forever. It’s the story that never grows old.

O cleansing Word, O precious Word,
Thy promises are true;
They are the “Amen” in my life;
Thy truths are ever new.  —Anon.

The gospel never grows old.

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are, God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

BLESS THIS HOUSE

 Bless this house O Lord we pray; Make it safe by night and day; 
Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there, with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.

Sorry, completely wrong (I realize my case may be an exception to the quiz's assumptions):

You don't go over the top celebrating, and by December 26th, you're ready to pack away your decorations.

Until Christmas Day it is Advent, not Christmas. And because the tree-sellers here shut down their way over-priced operations before the 24th, we often go without a tree. Okay, lights go up at the beginning of Advent but that's (mainly) because winters are so dark here. And they (and the tree) remain up until the 12 Days of Christmas end, also known as Epiphany (following Twelfthnight).
