QUIZ: What Christmas Movie Are You?

What DVD should you squirrel away with when it looks like that annoying “I just said I'd drop in for tea” second-cousin-once-removed won't leave the gaff?

 

Family ruckus between the main course and dessert, monster piles of chocolate, seething disappointment over your present stash versus that of your siblings and wanting to murder your family within five minutes of arriving home: all part ‘n’ parcel of the Irish family Christmas. And oh, how we love it. Know what else we adore? Fighting over the remote about festive films like It’s A Wonderful Life and Elf. Ahh… there’s no time of year we so closely associate with a movie genre. Get the one that suits you, here.
