Christmas Quiz - help me get a load of questions!

[filthymindedvixen]

I need to organise a quiz for around 20-30 adults from a very wide range of backgrounds so need to have a really good mix of christmas questions so that a) it isn't prohibitively difficult
b) everyone stands a chance of being able to contribute an answer
c) I have done a quiz for the past 3 years so they probably know all my questions by now.

Can you all think of one question please? (and give me the answer too...)

Re the Oliver Cromwell thing - it is still illegal to eat mince pies on Christmas Day, which is one of the Oliver Cromwell Laws which has never been rescinded.

Other bizarre Christmas legislation:

Having turkey this Christmas? You'd better think again and eat goose instead, as in 1588 Elizabeth I enacted a law making it an offense to eat any other bird on Xmas day.

And in case you were thinking of driving to church on Christmas Day: don't! According to the Holy Days and Fasting Days Act of 1551, which has not yet been repealed, everyone must attend church on Christmas Day on foot.

May I not eat swan?
