Or who decided that Santa lived at the North Pole? (Hint: an artist.)

Stupefying pieces of trivia to amaze and stun your relatives.

Need to get that BOOOORING conversation quieted down? Printable Christmas Trivia quizzes, from easy to hard.

Need to get the kids to PLEEEEASE stay still for JUUUUST 10 minutes? Get out the crayons and print out the Snowpeople Coloring Page from HowToConsign.com.

Need your computer to sing carols quietly in the other room? This is a pretty interesting collection.

    It was so refreshing to hear those xmas songs on my compputer. That was a very nice gesture. Thank you for all of the valuable informatioon you dispence to all the Consignment Shop owners out there.

    I opened my first consignment way back in 1978 in Pasadena, California. The industry sure has come a long way, and only for the better. I applaud you and your staff for your support, and I hope that all of you have a wonderful, wonderful holiday season.
