Name that Christmas carol

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!

  1. JB
  2. SN
  3. WSWTF
  4. TFN
  5. JTTW
  6. OLTOB
  7. DTH
  8. AWHHOH
  9. ICUTMC
  10. GKW
  11. OCAYF
  12. WTKOOA
  13. JOSN
  14. AIAM
  15. OCT
  16. IHTBOCD
  17. WCIT
  18. HTHAS
  19. GRYMG
  20. OHN
  21. ISTS
  22. WWYAMC
  23. HWCAC
  24. GTIOTM
  25. OCOCI

Update: The answers have been posted.
