A Christmas quiz question
Whoever gets it right can set the next on and so on
In which classic novel does the protagonist set sail for a sea voyage on a cold Christmas Day

One of my favourite books when I was a nipper. "Moby Dick." The first line, I believe, is "Call me, Ishmael!"
Just watched the knowing me knowing Yule with Alan partridge episode, Classic
One of my favourite 70s bands and albums!
T Rex - Electric Warrior

Sticking to the music theme, what is the only song that has been Christmas number 1 twice?

That’s the first line of the first chapter, but it’s not the start of the book.
Nope, just the once in the 70s
Forgot about Band Aid! I'll rephrase my question
Which is the only single that has been Christmas number 1 twice performed by the same artist? Means Band Aid, Band Aid II and Band Aid 20 are classed as different artists.

Bohemian Rhapsody
Easy one: when was the last widespread white Christmas in the UK? (Actual snow on the ground in most places not a single flake on the MET office or whatever)
Do you have anything by Tyrannosaurus Rex, (before they shortened it to just T. Rex)? I used to have a vinyl album of theirs titled "Unicorn". Lost that decades ago, but found the CD of it in a charity shop a few years ago. I'd never sell it on now.

My Christmas jumper keeps giving me electric shocks , I took it back to the shop they let me have a new one free of charge
Speaking of Christmas jumpers the club shop still has them as 'coming soon'. Leaving it a bit late aren't they?
Heard it in some shop i was in yesterday said to an assiisant standing by can you complement whoever pick the tape or whatever on their selection.She said she liked it although she had not heard it before. I recomended she listened to some older music . Might have a new Chuck Berry fan.
When’s everyone finish for Christmas?
I got this weekend off then late shifts Monday, tuesday and nightshift Wednesday/ Thursday finish Christmas Eve morning .

Soz, Daz. I've been finishing for Christmas every day for the last 11 years or so! (Retired!

Don't apologise mate, you've done your work. My wife and I both work for the NHS, this is the second Christmas in a row that we have both been off Christmas eve and Christmas night, although we have done 20 odd between us over the years .Soz, Daz.

Not Christmas until i have heard this - goosebumps everytime!
The repetitiveness of Elton's "Step into Christmas" does my fucking head in.
And Beach Boys lyric "Christmas comes this time each year"? No shit Sherlock! FOOK OFF!!!
I was a bus driver in Cov during most of the 1980's. My "summer holiday" always seemed to be around March or April. I can't remember having a Christmas period off either. Just Christmas Day then back on Boxing Day. Then had to work a shift on New Years day, so hats off to you Daz. I bow down to all NHS workers. They've saved my life on four occasions in the past. My niece is a HART paramedic up in Scotland. So proud of her. Her mum (my sister) was killed in a car crash in 1972, and I believe that's why she chose this vocation.
