This is a quiz that I came up with as something to pass the time while we waited for people to arrive at our recent work gift exchange party. So I thought I would pass it on to you guys to see how you do.
Below you will find the first lines of 25 holiday songs / carols. But each line has been compressed with just the first letter of each word. For example SBRAYL would be “Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?” from the song Winter Wonderland. Some are more difficult than others – how many can you get?
I will note that most if not all of these answers can be found somewhere on the Internet. Come up with your answers in the comments and just note how many you could get without relying on Internet help for an accurate comparison with those that choose not to use it.

The winner at our little get-together got 16 right (in about 15 minutes or so) – just as a comparison. Good luck!

21 so far without help…..I might break down and use the ole internet for the last four. I thought being a singer would help…..maybe not. 🙂
Which 4 are you missing?
10, 12, 22, 23
At our shindig, nobody got 10, 12, 22, 24 or 25. 23 was gotten by several people though 🙂
What is #12?! We’ve got the rest (and thanks for an enjoyable quiz).
Hee hee hee. The only clue I will give is that you will note that this is not advertised as a “Christmas song / carol quiz”….
Never mind, Tricky Dan. We got #12 (hint: not a Christmas song).
Right. Nice work.
We got it before you put the post up! (Not that we’re obsessed over that fact at all)
I got 14 in 8 minutes. With dad helping then, we had 19 in 11 minutes. got number 24. okay, i’m gonna cheat,
