Scores

1. 16 and above.

   Could do better. You probably think that Christmas is about friends and family and human warmth. Well it isn’t! It’s about films and music. Do better!

2. 31 and above.

   Realistically, this is the best score. You’ve done well, but you aren’t a Christmas fanatic by any stretch. Safely in the middle. Who could ask for more?

3. 46 and above.

   Ho ho ho! Stupendous work! We would come to your house and celebrate, but honestly you seem like the sort of person who’s had their decorations up since Halloween, so we’ll pass.

4. 0 and above.

   Dismal. You know so little about Christmas that it feels deliberate. We would call you a Grinch, but we’d be surprised if you knew what it meant.
