ANNIE'S MAILBOX Have some fun today with this holiday quiz

Dear Readers: Today is Christmas, and many of you are going to church and spending time with your families, some of you are enjoying a day off, and others are busy, working at businesses that stay open on the holiday. Some of you are neither celebrating nor using the day to relax, and are simply getting along as best you can.
Instead of sermonizing or trying to enlighten, we thought we'd simply let you have some fun with a letter we received via e-mail:
Dear Annie: A friend sent me this quiz, and I wanted to share it with as many people as possible in time for Christmas. Your column reaches a lot of folks, so would you please print it? We could all use a good laugh. Suzie in Fort Wayne, Ind.
Dear Suzie: We loved it. Thanks. A merry Christmas and a happy holiday season to all our readers.
