    I got a lot of abuse in today's comments, think this question drove people a little crazy :p
    I hate this question. Christmas is cancelled
    Ah christ this isn't fair...the Belfast Xmas market is literally two minutes walk away from my work, I walk through the dam thing every day...but is it famous enough??
    If I get whiplash from my sudden drop in the table, you'll be hearing from my solicitor
    And this is where I turn back into a goat , like Cinderella at midnight .. not that she was a goat ..
    No dilly dallying now, and I refuse to change tack and deliberately go for the wooden spoon so I can at least win something!
    I'm going with xxxx because I've been to them and they're lovely and I'm doing awful anyway so who cares, this question won't save me!

    Thought it'd be somewhere in Germany alright but there were so many to choose from I thought the vote would be split. And most of my Googling came up as Prague as the most popular desination. Oh well :(

    And who also said to me minutes before the reveal that if I scored more than her she was going to kick off. Not that she's taking it seriously or anything. :D

    I stand by Galway being the most famous Christmas Market... mostly because I didn't know there were such things as "famous Christmas Markets" so just went with somewhere I definitely knew there was one...

    I had thought Germany first too, but I would have expected Munich, Köln or Düsseldorf (which nobody picked!) to be more well known for Christmas markets than Berlin: I knew Berlin had one but there's so much else going on there all year round that I didn't think it would be the most we known for Christmas.

    So expecting the German vote to be split I was tossing up between Prague and Vienna. Turns out it wouldn't have made any difference to me which one I went for (but if you win by one point then you can thank me for choosing Prague. ;) )

    I had a pretty grim November- I was ill for most of it, as well as having a number of personal issues.

    This is actually great craic (I say that before today's answers are announced :pac: ) and has gotten me right back into the Christmas spirit. It's great fun waiting every day for the questions and answers, and hilarious seeing everyone agonize over their choices.

    So thanks a million, Electric Nitwit. Your hard work is greatly appreciated. :)

    Five minutes to go, let's get the quotes out early to build the hype :p
    I hate this question almost as much as I hate pantomimes
    If I don't sheep, I'll get my fairy godmother to turn you into one (The passive aggressive posts seem to help to get a sheep answer)
    I cant remember what character Dame Necro is playing but he got a fine set of bewbs
    Think i might ace here but I've never been to a panto in my life so I'll be happy to take it. And keep my dignity intact
    This advent calendar is killing me :(
    Can you imagine my answers if I actually googled instead of guessing :D
    What have I ever done to you to deserve the last 3 questions? I'm tumbling down the table :(
    and
    P.S. Panto sucks. (And before you say it, OH YES, IT ABSOLUTELY FÚCKING DOES.) :mad:
