I'm a Christmas cracker! And I even missed a few.

10 out of 12, and I really did NOT know the other 2!

I stupidly counted a 'fa' as a 'la' and got the 'Deck The Halls' one wrong. And had no idea that there is more to 'Jingle Bells' than I thought. So 10 out of 12.

I made the same Fa/la mistake. Otherwise all right, though I am not convinced by the 'prime' meaning. Other interpretations seem as good to me.

Yes, Eliza, "Jingle Bells" has an additional verse about going for a sleigh ride: "The horse was lean and lank / Misfortune seemed his lot." I have heard this verse sung and recorded, but not all that often; it is just as often that the song is presented without that additional verse.
