How well do you know your Christmas carols?
Some of the answer possibilities are, quite frankly, lame. At least I can say I didn’t write ’em. Still, I love little quizzes like this. Plus, uhm — and boasting is SO attractive, Trace, but anything to feel good about myself right now — I got 100-non-cheating percent. I’ll say this, though: If I can get 100% on this, you guys can, too, ‘mkay?
Ready?
GO!!
I got 88%. I missed the one about Jingle Bells, and the one about the phrase.
I’m going to drown myself in egg nog now.
100%, too.
I lucky-guessed the ‘Jingle Bells’ one, though.
Lisa — Let me come with you!! Yum! (That Jingle Bells one was weird — just strange the way it was phrased or something.)
Sal — Congrats!
Yeah, which verse of Jingle Bells was that?
Dunno’ but that is NOT the Christmas spirit! More like the inner-city, gang-banger spirit.
And this just made me guffaw:
15. What did the night wind say to the little lamb?
A. Where’s your God now?
WG — That one WAS good.
Kate P — There’s a whole other obscure section to the lyrics of “Jingle Bells.” Here’s the part that answers that question:
A day or two ago,
the story I must tell
I went out on the snow
And on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh,
He laughed as there
I sprawling lie,
But quickly drove away.
O.K., that guy gets a lump of coal. To the forehead. Jerk.
Perfecto. I puzzled out the Jingle Bell thing, it was the only line that scanned.
Some of the questions were hilarious. “The First Nowell?” Heheheheh. I especially liked #17:
Q: As Good King Wenceslaus looked out on the feast of Stephen, what sort of person did he see?
D: an anti-Stephen protestor
I really suck! I got only 80%…I wasn’t paying close enough attention I think…I’ve got visions of 40+ people coming over for a Christmas party tomorrow! What was I thinking!!!
NF — /an snti-Stephen protester/ Hahahaha! How did I not notice that??
sam — So today must be party day! Have fun!
