Hope everyone had a nice Christmas!  These are the results of my
Christmas lyrics quiz.  There were a lot of good entries.  And I was
REALLY generous on acceptable answers, since so many of these carols are
known by varying titles.  The winner is Jan O'Leary from sunny Tasmania,
who got 33 of the 35 songs correct.  She missed only "March of the
Kings," #15, which NO ONE got correct, and "Do You Hear What I Hear,"
#16, which must not be too big at the bottom of the world.  No one got
either of the tie-breakers.  

Here's a question:  Should credit be given for an answer to #31 ("and I
mean it from the bottom of my heart") of "I Just Called to Say I Love
You"?  The song contains the quoted line as well as "no giving thanks
for all the Christmas joy you bring," perhaps qualifying it for this
quiz.
