Quadruped with crimson probiscus . . .



I'm sorry for the long silence - no excuse apart from the 'busy-ness' of this time of year which other bloggers seem to take in their stride and still manage to post something just about every day. How do they do it?

Lest my few readers, give up on me, I found this Christmas quiz on the web and thought it might give you a few moments' amusement until I get around to writing something a bit more serious and appropriate for Advent.

NAME THAT CAROL!

2. 5 p.m. to 6 a.m. without noise

3. Minuscule hamlet in the far east

4. Ancient benevolent despot

5. Adorn the vestibule

6. Exuberance directed to the planet

7. Listen, aerial spirits harmonizing

8. Monarchical trio

9. Yonder in the haystack

10. Assemble, everyone who believes

12. Fantasies of a colorless December 25th

13. Tin tintinnabulums

14. A dozen 24-hour Yule periods

15. Befell during the transparent bewitching hour

16. Homo sapien of crystallized vapor

17. I merely desire a pair of incisors

If you got stuck on any of them, you'll find the answers here along with other Christmas trivia. I missed out some of the questions that were using lines from the middle of carols or were not that well known.

By all means though the quiz is not my original work of course.
