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

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?

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.

Don't feel too badly, Ghost. I put my frustration in a spoiler after I answered.

You are not alone. I'm right there with you.

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.

You're not getting rid of me that easily, beyotch! I'm not quite dead yet. It's my goal to manage 31-derful (ha!) consecutive days of QOD frivolity before I succumb to an attack of the vapours and have to take to my bed a la Florence Nightingale. 24 down, 7 to go, YAY!!1
