Nuestro periódico hermano, el Northwich Guardian, le pidió al DJ de Radio Northwich y entusiasta maestro de concursos aficionado, Julian Williams, que preparara una lista de 50 preguntas de trivia basadas en letras de canciones navideñas para poner a prueba tus neuronas.
Julian incluso incluyó pistas, proporcionando el número de palabras y letras en cada respuesta.
Apaga la tele, coge un boli y papel, y ponte manos a la obra, pero cuidado – algunas de estas son realmente complicadas.
Encontrarás las respuestas abajo, así que no bajes antes de tiempo. Eso sería hacer trampa.
