If you're about to take this quiz in the UK or Ireland, chances are that you might celebrate Christmas Day in the following way: wake up early, open some presents, have breakfast, snack, eat a big Christmas dinner, tell some rubbish Christmas cracker jokes, have some cake, watch a film, have some food, get cosy and watch a festive movie, fall asleep.
