Quizmas time, mistletoe and wine ...

Oh, hi there! And welcome to the usual nonsense. 25 questions with a theme running through the answers. Tonight's theme is a word, so if you are looking for the theme, your answers might be words that go with the theme in some way. A tiny handful of answers also contain the theme. Beware - as usual - soundalikes, spellalikes, terrible word puns, hidden words, and instances where you have to put consecutive answers together to make a whole theme related "thing". Ready? Good luck! x
