  1. Okay. Confessions: I got them all -- except "The Nutcracker Suite." I "mentally thumbed through my shredded brain files" of hymns and secular Christmas songs, and was happy to be challenged by the game. It brought good memories of the music again. I thought I did pretty well but for "Apartment of Two Psychiatrists", (or whatever), and I don't know why, but "Jingle Bell Rock" (even with the boulder hint!) knocked my thinking cap a bit askew. I did truly enjoy it and I'm glad you posted it. It sort of nudged me to appreciate Christmas music again. So thanks so much for that, and for listening to the ravings of a madwoman! :)

    1. I can sing every one of them, well, except for Nutcracker which doesn't have words.

      I've been known to hum that one, though. :-D

  2. I used to be able to sing them all, too, and play some of the Nutcracker Suite...but now, I'm old. My advice to you: Don't get old.
