The infamous Christmas Carol Quiz

Some people got snail mail cards this year.  If you weren't on the snail mail list, well, you either moved and didn't send me your new address, or you stopped sending ME cards, or you were never on my snail mail list for some other reason.  I sent out 70 cards this year.  Drake claims I keep the post office in business not just for my Christmas cards, but also because of all the snail mail letters I write.  It's usual for me to send out an annual Christmas letter tucked into my cards.  I don't care if people make fun of those of us who send out the annual missive, I LIKE opening a Christmas card which contains either a printed letter or a handwritten note.  However, if you read the blog, then you know everything already, so instead of the annual recap letter, I sent my blog readers a Christmas Carol Quiz just for fun.

Well, this has been wildly popular.  I've heard from numerous people who plan to take it with them to use as a family Christmas game, as well as people who sent me an email saying, WHAT IS THE ANSWER TO #___?  By far, the first question is the stumper.  I must confess here and now, #1 is a bit of a trick question since technically it's not a Christmas carol, but it IS Christmas music.

You can thank Jane for prompting me to remember I promised the answers via a blog entry.  So, here's a repeat of the questions along with the answers.  And, yes, there's no #3.  I rearranged the quiz, and somehow #3 got lost in the shuffle.  Get over it.  Ho. Ho. Ho.
