However, you noticed with some dismay that the perfect gift had evaded Aunt Gertrude. On the third night of Hanukkah, she proudly presented you with what you thought was a fuzzy throw pillow. How sweet, you thought naively, a homemade present. Then you noticed it smelled of moth balls and – was that the odor of gasoline? You never got a chance to investigate; when the pillow began to crawl away on what looked like thousands of tiny legs, you chose not to pursue it.

Now, you’re dreading Aunt Gertrude’s return to the family’s annual holiday party; who knows what she might bring along? She’s senile, she can’t help it, your mother says. She means well, your father says. But what does one say to a smelly pillow that walks? What should you tell your Aunt Gertrude?!

Fear not, dear reader. This year, the team at Adobe FormsCentral has put together a fool-proof plan to help you respond to any kind of terrible holiday gift, even the kind that come from Aunt Gertrude. Moldy Christmas fruitcake from the neighbors? “Art” from your sister’s weirdo husband? We’ve got you covered. Take the quiz, and go forth to your holiday gatherings with the confidence that you’ll have the perfect reply for whatever the holiday season has to offer you.

Each Wednesday, we’ll be tweeting a question about one of Acrobat’s online questions from the Acrobat handle (@Acrobat); you’ll have until that Friday to tweet back your answer. Just reply to our tweet and include the tag #AcrobatFeatureFind. From all of the correct answers that make it in on time, we’ll select a random lucky winner to receive a one year subscription to the service of his or her choice! That means that each week until the end of our scavenger hunt, you’ll have the chance to win an annual subscription (a value of up to $390) to one of Acrobat’s online services.
