QOD Monday 12-24 "NAME THAT CAROL"

#1 Post by fantine33 » Mon Dec 24, 2007 7:38 am

Yeah, you were all primed to show off your mad Florence Henderson and Growing Pains skillz, weren't you? Too bad!

These are all descriptions of Christmas songs in the quiz portion today. Since the wording is important, you'll need to have the title exact.

12/24 Name that Carol

1. Far back in a hay bin.

2. Cup-shaped instruments fashioned of a whitish metallic element.

3. 288 Yuletide hours.

4. A B C D E F G H I J K M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

5. Twelve o'clock on a clement night witnessed its arrival.


QOD: For what movie was the song “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” written?

5 Point Bonus: What line was changed to “hang a shining star upon the highest bough” at the request of Frank Sinatra?

Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Even if it is I may not do well...

Happy Holidays, Fantine!!

Thank you for finally pointing it out on #4, T_Bone. I was beginning to think all the people who got it are part of a secret society & this was part of their secret code. Well, they are, but the code was put up for all to see, I just failed to read it carefully.

I might have missed it myself, had I not seen something similar in a holiday puzzle that was circulating around the office. I can be incredibly slow on the uptake with stuff like that.

A Christmas song game was already posted? No wonder it's so easy. Damn, I'm going to have to start reading posts one of these days. Ha!

My sister usually has a Christmas word type game to occupy some time on Christmas. This one was year before last, I think. I found it in the box of Christmas junk that I finally opened the other day.
