Thanks @Mi-Amigo and well done all.

Super quiz again, @Mi-Amigo, although it was a flip of a coin for the HP question - those Dursleys really were Bah Humbugs 😖

Nice to see the Christmas Thinkers on display again, very seasonal 🎄👍

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @MI5 and @pgn 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards.

Thanks @pgn for the Santa Thinkers which I pinched for this year`s White Room Christmas Quiz 😁

[BobM]

Sorry I missed this one @Mi-Amigo good quiz.

Looking over it I certainly wouldn't have been awarded a Silver and I would have had to make do with a Bronze I think.

[TallTrees]

A Bronze rare for me, very pleased 😊

Thank you for the Quiz @Mi-Amigo 

Well done all

[Comben]

Well done on getting 8 interesting Christmas themed questions with some harder ones in there too, I know I'm late to the party but I just took the quiz and scored 3 if anyone wants to believe me 😂

Fun Fact: I've been to Christmas Island so that was one of the Q's I got right. 🎅
