NAME THAT CAROL!!

UPDATED! Ok, with all of the shopping and running around I've been doing, I almost forgot to update the carol list with the corresponding numbers. I hope those of you who played have enjoyed our silly game! Merry Christmas, everyone!

Several years ago, our office received a fax with ten "riddles" that describe the titles of Christmas carols. We had so much fun with it that two of us came up with several more. I came across the list in my desk last week and decided to dust it off and post it here so anyone stopping by can join in the fun! Our office has an ornament exchange/pizza lunch every year and this year we're doing it on Thursday; I plan to bring this out since we have a couple of new people since we last played. I remember one (former) co-worker, an especially nasty woman whose goal it was to make everyone else in the office look ignorant (We called her "BM" for "Backstabbing Mary") - she couldn't get any of them and threw a rather embarrassing hissy fit about what a stupid game it was - wadding up her paper and throwing it across the room. We enjoyed that so much that we added to the list the following year. She then moved away and the game just wasn't as much fun!!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. I'll include the list with the carol names, but the first round is typically played without the assistance of the names. I'll stop back in a couple of days and post the answers for those who have trouble. Have fun!
