Vacant Stares

Voila, a vision of vacuousness.  Just look at those vague visages.

This image brings back vestiges of my high school poetry teaching days, voicing valuable (at least to me) volumes of verse into the teenage void and growing ever more vexed. All of a sudden, I feel like I might need a voucher for a vacation.

Time to vamoose?

It sort of looks like some of these pupils are already taking vacations of their own, visiting various villages or venues. Don’t you just wonder: Why’s vying for their vaporous veneration?

Holiday game answers - Christmas carol titles undone

Did you attempt to decipher Delightfully Amiss’ Christmas carol titles undone? How did you do? How did this tricky list go over with your family, class, or party guests?

(If you have not yet given the list a try, you can find it here.)

I’m guessing you are hunting for the answer key by now. 

Spoiler alert!

Do not scroll down and look at the list, unless you have already given this challenging holiday game your best try.

OK, ready?

Are you sure?

Want to check your list again? (Remember: Santa makes his list and checks it twice. OK, it's just a suggestion.)

NOTE: Feel free to print and copy the list for personal and party use. Republication or reposting (on websites, in emails, in print, or otherwise) is prohibited, as the list is original, copyrighted material.

Here are the answers:

How did you do? How many Christmas carols / holiday songs did you guess correctly? What was the top score in your group?

Holiday game - Christmas carol titles undone

Here’s a tricky and fun game for a holiday party. I worked a little wordplay with 32 well-known Christmas carols and holiday songs. 

How many of these holiday songs (both sacred & secular) do you recognize? Can you decipher the titles? In some cases, the word orders and sentence structures have been altered, although the meanings still stand. See if you and your guests (family, friends, coworkers, students, or others) can figure them out. (Example: Stuff I Treasure Most = My Favorite Things)

NOTE: Feel free to print and copy the list for personal and party use. Republication or reposting (on websites, in emails, in print, or otherwise) is prohibited, as the list is original, copyrighted material.

Work it out solo, in pairs, in trios, in teams, or as a whole group. For an extra challenge, set a timer!

The answers will appear in tomorrow’s post, here at Delightfully Amiss: Berzerkians Gone Amok.
