Reader, did you know?

Each Christmas season, Jeff gives this quiz to his fifth grade Bible students.  It is always amazing to us how little of the TRUE Christmas story the kids know.  So much of what they believe has come from stories, legends, and Christmas movies, and quite a bit of it has no basis whatsoever in biblical fact.

I thought it would be fun to see how much YOU know.  Take the following true/false quiz (no peeking allowed) and, if you're feeling brave--or you wanna brag a bit--let me know how you did in the comments!  I will post the correct answers tomorrow.  Maybe I will even make the winner a fur wreath...ahem........
