SATURDAY SCOOPS
A little rusty? Brush up on your carol lyrics
Advertiser Staff
So you think you know your Christmas music?
Think again.
We're talking lyrics to specific songs. Top to bottom. No missed words.
And verses in the right order.
"Jingle Bells" is the easy one; you've been chirping this one from your toddler days.
Get into "Adeste Fideles," and you're probably a bit tongue-tied.
And "Deck the Halls" is a cinch, what with its fa-la-la-la-las.
In the spirit of the season (which is about the only time you can sing these tunes, or have a reasonable excuse to fetch the CDs out of your storage cupboard), see if you can match isolated lines with the proper songs.
Play this simple game, right after your wearisome gift-shopping trek this weekend, and you'll feel at lot better.
Or save it, alter it by replacing your own lines from your favorite songs, and try the guessing game at your family Christmas dinner.
Happy singing. And Mele Kalikimaka.
