A twixtmas #harlequiz
And so it came to pass that the final #harlequiz of 2020 did arrive, and there was much rejoicing.
Usual nonsense, 25 questions with a theme running through the answers. You don't have to get the theme to take part, but if you do look for it, it may help you. Maybe not. If you do look for it, beware soundalikes, spellalikes, hidden words, and cases where you have to put consecutive answers together to make a whole thing. Good luck!
