If English Profs wrote the Christmas Carols...

Sazerac · 12-03-2001, 04:11 PM

Here's a little quiz to get you in the holiday spirit. See if you can figure out what the 'true' names of these Christmas carols are, based on their rather flowery interpretations.

I'll post the answers in another thread.

Cheers,

There are HOW many x-mas songs???

Not an expert but to summarize:

We've got all but these:

4. Personal expectation of receiving naught for the holiday season.
17. The merry ancient Beatific associated with the spirit of the season.
18. Hey, chicks, flick your bics!
19. Wow, look, there still blossoms a flower!
20. A bevy of witches + 1 member of a forest + the common element among Ms?s Channing, Burnette, King, and Lombard.
24. Boulder of the tinkling metal spheres.
32. Seraphim We Aurally Detect in the Stratosphere.

So who took the time to write down all these carols?

EDIT: okay, 24 and 4 are there too

Davros · 12-03-2001, 05:47 PM
