Disclaimer: two of the most non-Christmassy elves have been employed to run tonight’s quiz. They have enlisted a plethora of wonderful helpers and the outcome is a quiz, unlike any other. Please enter the quiz in the spirit of Christmas, and the decisions of the grumpy elves (judges) is final!
It is very likely that it will go a little wrong, but we are all doing our best in extremely challenging times, and all we ask is that you play along and have fun, and we wish everybody a very Happy Christmas!
