Christmas Would You Rather Questions

Christmas Eve or Christmas morning. Hosting or travelling three hours to someone else's. Real tree that drops needles or a perfect fake one — the argument every family has already had.

Made for the gap between dinner and the film, when everyone is too full to move but not ready to sleep.
