*Name that Christmas Carol*

Contest

Objective:
Guess which Christmas song titles the images represent. Whoever correctly guesses the most wins!


Disclaimer:
I did not invent this game, nor did I draw any of these pictures. I did, however, search various websites to find good images that could be matched in a way that made sense with popular Christmas song titles. smile


Example:
This is a tricky one because the song isn’t too well-known and the image is a bit hard to figure out. Most of the ones that I ask are easier than this. The answer to this picture would be “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.”

User Image

Format:
I numbered each picture for a reason. Please, make life a little easier for me by submitting your guesses in the following format of Image #. Song Title. So, it might look like this:

1. Chant of the Crazy People
2. Jingle of Awesomeness
3. …Um, I couldn’t get this one.
4. Carol of Elves
Of course, if your submission looks exactly like that, then that would be a problem because - as far as I know - none of those songs exist! rofl

Deadline:
PM your guesses to me by Saturday, the 23th of January. After that date I will post the correct answers and the winner in this thread.


Prizes:
Everyone that enters earns 5 points! Don’t be too discouraged to enter if there are a handful that stump you since I doubt that anyone will know all of them. Feel free to try and prove me wrong, though! biggrin

The person that gets the most correct earns an extra 10 points, and receives a Santa Cow Plushie AND his/her choice of:
Starhat
Tiny Christmas Head-Tree
Spirited 2k8 Peppermint Cap
Cap a la Gingerbread

In the event of a tie, both people earn the extra 10 points, and I’ll roll dice to determine which of them gets the plushie and selected hat.


*Here are the pictures*
Now, make your guesses!

The winner is...Matelia legwll exclaim She got 40 out of 45 completely correct, and for 2 others she was debating between 2 titles (The right answer was present in her debate both times.), so she almost got 42 out of 45. Let's give her a "round of applause!" *claps hands in a circle* Haha! rofl Sorry, I suppose I'm having trouble getting out of the Picture-Representation Mindset! lol

Thanks to the_cereal_queen and NekoGirlYukiza13 for entering and earning 5 points! razz Although, Neko, Matelia is correct; you were supposed to PM your entry to me. If everyone posted their guesses here, then people could steal one another's speculations. That didn't happen this time since Cereal and Matelia bother entered before you, but it could have been a problem, so please read all of the guidelines in the future. I'd hate for anyone to steal the ideas you, or any of the splendid elves here at The Bookcase, worked hard on. 3nodding
