Are you a Holiday Saint or a Mean Old Grinch?

You are in a long line, after a long day of shopping and you finally are one person away from the front and they are price checking every item and are taking an extremely long time, you...

You are totally frustrated and you show it! Making audible "gruffing" noises and complaining out loud how stupid some people can be.

You are frustrated and looking to jump lines. Of course, as it always goes, you jump lines, and the line you were in starts moving faster. Ugh!

You are frustrated, but 'tis the season! You patiently wait and finally make it through the line and off to the next stop.

You are frustrated, but looking to help, you tell the cashier you also saw that item on sale and it didn't ring up correctly.

Correct!

Wrong!

You are backing up and someone backs right into your car! You...

You calmly take a deep breath and ask for their insurance.

You angerly stomp out to see the damage, but are able to collect yourself and calm down.

You ask if anyone got hurt and ask for their insurance card. The police will sort it out.

You fly off the handle, throwing a tantrum and yell at them.

Correct!

Wrong!

You heard from another friend that your best friend made some unkind comments about your kids, and you haven't talked since. You...

You meet them for lunch but bring another friend along to avoid any uncomfortable situations.

You keep ignoring their calls and texts. No one talks about your kids behind your back.

You ignore the comment and try to move past it. They might have just been having a bad day.

You broke your mother's favorite heirloom vase! You...

There were no witnesses, so you just leave it. She's upset, but at least not with you!

You clean up the mess, but just tell your mom you broke it. You know she'll be upset, but she'll get over it.

You sweep up the mess, throw it away, and ask your mom for forgiveness for breaking it. You even offer to replace it (even if it is irreplaceable).

Correct!

Wrong!

You broke your mom's favorite heirloom vase, told her you did it, even tried to replace it, and your mom forgave you, but you still can't get over you broke the vase. You...

You can't do it! You will always feel guilty for breaking the vase and the new one is just a reminder of it.

You keep looking for new vases to replace the one that was broke. You mom now has 100 vases and you still can't find the "one" to replace it.

You finally forgive yourself and let go of the hurt it caused by breaking it.

You remember the pain it caused whenever you see the new vase, but say a prayer and blessing for your mom.

Correct!

Wrong!

It is cold outside, snow is falling, and you didn't sleep well the night before...oh yeah, and it's Sunday. You...

You get up, yell at everyone to hurry up and tell them you know it's bad outside but we're going anyway, and everyone throws themselves in the pew for Mass.

You go back to sleep, and pretend the alarm didn't go off when you do wake up.

You get up anyway and drag yourself and the family to Mass.

You get up and calmly get everyone ready for Mass, even going outside the shovel before leaving. It stinks but the sacrifice is worth it!

Correct!

Wrong!

During announcements before Mass, they say they have some open Adoration times! You...

You find out what time it is and even though it's not the best time, still sign up and make it work.

You ignore it and turn to the opening song.

You think to yourself that would be nice if you had time, and check your calendar to when you might be free.

You find out what times it are open, but don't commit and tell them you'll check your calendar.

Correct!

Wrong!

Oh boy, the annoying aunt who always makes the condescending comments walks through the door at your family Christmas party. You...

You talk with her, but every time she says something mean about your family, you say something mean right back. This year, you'll show her!

You move to the other side of the room where ever she is. Maybe she won't even see you this year!

You bump into her at the buffet line, and exchange kind glances and let her go in front of you. Better not to say anything at all.

You go to her right away and ask her how her year has been. You let her comments go, and socialize with other family members.

Correct!

Wrong!

You cooking and baking up a storm! There is so much to cook and clean, you can hardly think, but you take a moment to look things over and you...

You look at the wonderful food and say a quick prayer, thanking God for the family and hopefully the help to clean it all up!

Every day, a new charity is sending you a heartfelt letter begging for money. You...

You throw them all away because you already give enough to the Church. Someone else who can afford it will donate to those other ones.
