I love Christmas music so much I listen to it some throughout the year, but I must say I didn't find all of the title/lyrics. You have done an excellent job of working all of these in, while creating a smoothly-flowing narrative!

I enjoyed reading your fun little story, Sally. You did a great job using those titles of Christmas songs in it. I did not peek and got 2/3 of them located--some I've never heard of. Your lines were fun to read and imagine which I could due to your attention to detail and imagery creating words/phrases. The image is a great pairing with your words, too.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

I got 29. What a fun activity. The reader will be drawn in to the activity of a little light fun. It was funny, when I recognized some of them, I sang the line. This was very cleverly done. It shows a lot of hard work. Thank you.

You are certainly the music maestro, Sally! I think I knew only 50% of the songs and I had been in choirs - but often we'd sing classical works by Bach and Vivaldi and Handel so maybe I didn't know the more popular songs. Thanks for sharing and hope you are having a magical, musical celebration of our Lord's Birth there!
Merry Christmas!

I recognized many, but some I had never heard of. I guess you do learn something new every Christmas. =] This as very fun and clever. You did a very good job on this. I do hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

    Aw, it had some tricky ones but my hope was to make it fun and brain stimulating. My family loved it either that or they were just being nice. Thank you, and bless you, dear Rox.

Sally,

What a fun post! I saw something SIMILAR in a poem the other day. This and that one struck me wonderfully because I've been working on a poem with holiday tunes in it. It's been a PILL, I tell you!

You give me courage and hope that I might be able to complete it - at some point in my life. hahaha

This was creative and though I tried hard, I only found (I'm embarrassed to admit) 19 songs! I'm glad you provided the list below.

Thanks for the smile and merry holidays!

What a cute story. I identified several but not all. I was so intent on the story, I'd forget to pay attention to the songs. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

    Sorry to be so ,ate. My family takes the Christmas season as a big time to fellowship and spend quality time together. This year was healing for me to see my grandchildren over Christmas. I think I played ten games of Scrabble and fifteen games of Old Maid and Go Fish with Sophia. We played this too, and they seemed to really enjoy it. Thank you and blessings for the new year, dear Yvonne,

    I know what you mean. I lost count of the times we played charades (children's version), Trouble, and Uno. Great fun!

It was truly wonderful how you worked all those songs into your story. Some of them I didn't know, however I had fun looking for them. The picture and video go along great with your theme.
