YOUR QUIZMAS CRACKERS
This round of questions was devised as a table round i.e. to be left in print with individual teams or contestants - obviously without the answers - and answered on paper at leisure through the evening. This explains what is otherwise the inane pointlessness of question 10...

gospel) and (b) the career of Matthew the gospel writer before his discipleship?
Tax (...all the world should be taxed.../tax collector - although admittedly the word may be carrying different meanings!)

Dylan Thomas, A Child's Christmas in Wales
- What were Charlemagne and Pope Leo III doing on Christmas Day 800AD?
(Please note: this is not a question about personal habits or lifestyles, but about landmark events in European history.)
The Pope was crowning Charlemagne as first Holy Roman Emperor
- Irving Berlin, Bing Crosby, a Christmas hit - what hotel?
Holiday Inn

- Words by Christina Rossetti, music by Gustav Holst, and the title of a film - which carol?
In the Bleak Midwinter (film made by Kenneth Branagh)
- Do you believe that Santa Claus is a real person who annually violates your chimney space?
(For reasons the organisers of tonight's shindig consider to be obvious, answers other than yes or no will not be taken seriously.)
