To celebrate the holiday season I’ve compiled a list of 25 Christmas carol acronyms. I realize similar lists are floating around, but this was a fun way for me to get into the spirit of the Christmas season.
My guess is that most people have heard of all of these carols, so with enough effort, you should be able to get them all. Next week I’ll post a second list of much more obscure titles for the advanced carolers. It’s probably easiest to print out this post (I created a print stylesheet so it should look decent) so you can write the answers down as you figure them out. I’ll post the answers this Friday.
Instructions: Identify the Christmas carol from the first letter of each word in the title. For example, the first one, JB is Jingle Bells. The second one should be pretty straightforward as well. Good luck!

Update: The answers have been posted.

» Comment by whaleman on December 14, 2006 @ 8:04 amI’ve worked on this for the past 2 days. I can’t figure out the last 3 and I give up! Can’t wait to see the answers. I think I’ll pass on the more obscure list.
