Thread Name: Christmas song quiz
Subject: RE: Christmas song quiz
I got Six correct of a possible eleven which I had heard of. Eg, I might have guessed singing nun If I had been thinking more clearly.

I found the quiz very Britian-centric (to coin a compound word) Here in North America, "Christmas Number One" is not a common concept. In fact, this October when I visited England was the first I had heard of it.

Here are some Quiz Questions with a more North American Flavor.

Who were first a hit with the folowing

Snoopy's Christmas
Mary's Boy Child
Blue Christmas
Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer
Pretty Paper

Who Wrote?

Marvelous Toy
Christmas in Prison
Pretty Paper
The Christmas Song
Song for a Winter's Night

Jim Croce did a song with Christmas as a backdrop.
What was it called?

Who believes that Grandma got run over by a Reindeer?
What was the evidence?

That's all i can think of for now. anyone got any more?
