Holiday Trivia Round – 2019 Edition
Wow, the 2019 holiday season snuck right by us this year. Work got the better of us the past few months so much so that I remembered in the middle of the night that we still didn’t have a holiday trivia round…not that we have ever had one apparently. We usually publish an end-of-year review round or quiz, but this time we decided to do something before the holidays to give you a few questions to stump the family with. So here it is – 10 questions written hastily before sunrise a few days before Christmas.
