Queue

Quiz
Christmas quizzes are a popular activity at holiday parties and gatherings, providing entertainment and a way to test knowledge about Christmas traditions, history, and more.
Queen
Refers to the Christmas messages given by Queen Elizabeth II, a tradition in the UK. Of course there will now be a ‘King’s Christmas Message’, but for the living memory of most of the people reading this, it has traditionally been known as the ‘Queen’s Christmas Message’. Additionally, many Christmas stories and songs include references to queens or royal themes.
Quality Time

Quest
Many holiday stories and traditions involve a quest, such as the journey to find the perfect Christmas tree or the adventure of delivering gifts like Santa Claus. Of course our favorite quest to suggest at Christmas time is to deliver an Elf By Stealth to a friend or neighbor!
