The Ho Ho Ho Throwdown - Round 6 - Results Edition
This is it - the last round. Of course, heading into Round 6, we are all tied up - with Jason and Aunt Sharon boasting 40 points a piece (out of a possible 50). Could it get any tighter?
Should we reach a stalemate at the end of these 10 questions, I’ll start launching one question bonus rounds until we declare a winner. Once we put the Ho Ho Ho Throwdown to bed, I have another game in the works - the 2007 version of the Mii Match game.
Of course, that’s for another day. On with the show.

60. Some people greet their neighbors with “Merry Christmas, Happy New Year!!!”. How does Cousin Eddie do it?
Answer: “Merry Christmas! Shitter was full.” (Jason - 48, Aunt Sharon - 49)
Wow!!! What a finish. Now that was a contest and thankfully - I don’t have to concoct a bonus round. That said, I tip my cap to both Jason and my Aunt Sharon for a masterful game. They kept it close the whole way through.
I’ll be launching another contest in a few days and I hope more of my readers opt in. There are prizes to be had afterall and more importantly, it’s just plain, dumb fun. So look for my Mii Match - Celebrity Edition in a few days.
With that, I leave you with the following good tidings.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and remember… check those shitters!!!
