If you got mostly A's, congratulations, you're: Chinese food!

Congratulations, you're Jewish! Christmas to you is about pretty lights, drinking kosher wine, and watching Uncut Gems for the third time because it's less stressful than CNN. You set a beautiful table and invited a highly curated group of friends over. Who's going to get drunk and make out, then find each other on LinkedIn at competing nonprofits? Only time will tell. Mazel tov, you beautiful bitch!

If you got mostly B's, congratulations, you're: A glazed ham!

You are a ham. Not only do you love pig puns, but you're the one keeping everyone waiting. We simply cannot have the day without you. A little spoiled, a little shy, you're a Christmas gift to us all, and you don't let us forget it. You love to dress up and down at the same time, somehow. How are you doing that? But if there's one thing we can say for sure, it's that you look beautiful, and you're making some people uncomfortable. Kisses!

If you got mostly C's, congratulations, you're: The tree topper!

You are already drunk, and it's December 1! You are simply the life of the party, even after everyone else has gone to sleep. Flashy and fun, you're the one who tells someone when they're drunk that they should text something mean to their coworker they hate. You give terrible advice, but we keep coming back, because your hair's so shiny, and that's distracting. Please keep spiking the eggnog; it's boring without you!

If you got mostly D's, congratulations, you're:A Barnes & Noble gift card!

People sleep on you, but you're such a staple of the holiday season! A gift that's not really a gift? Go off, Queen! You are the potential of the new year—maybe we'll start reading, maybe not, but now, we have $25 to spend. Yes, we're going to get magnets of dogs from France with berets on them, but we have the choice to get a book, and that's what matters. You always come prepared, and we need that now, more than ever.

If you got mostly E's, congratulations, you're: A DVD of 'A Christmas Story'!

You're a DVD copy of A Christmas Story. Funny, timeless, essential—it's all you! You are both the sexual energy of a single leg that lights up, but also the stranded child with his tongue stuck to a pole. You're so many things all at once, and that's what Christmas is all about. You remind people of the nostalgic beauty of the past, then quickly snap them to the painful relatability of the present. And you want a gun! That's half the American population right there.
