I got this with a Christmas card today and thought I'd share it. I think it is pretty easy, so just post how many (if any) you had to think about for a little while.  feel free to add more!

Can you decipher the REAL titles of these exaggerated titles of very familiar Christmas tunes?

1. From dawn till dark, soundless and sanctimonious.
2. Celestial messengers from splendid empires.
3. In a distant bovine diner.
4. Universal elation.
5. Ornament the enclosure with large sprigs of berry-bearing evergreen.
6. O miniature Nazarene village.
7. May Jehovah grant unto you hilarious males retirement.
8. Those of you who are true, come here!
9. Are you detecting the same aural sensations as I am?
10. The diminutive male of less than adult age who plays a percussion instrument.
11. Primary Yuletide.
12. Heavenly cherubs announcing in song--listen!
13. Reigning monarchs of the Far East.
14. Proclaim it to the hills.

I had to think about #7 for a minute and questioned my first guess for #11 before figuring out what it really is.

Oops, I read about half of these, had to go to class, and forgot to read the rest :embarass:

#2 is actually Angels from the Realms of Glory, leinad, unless I am asdly mistaken. #7 wasn't hard for me since I enjoy that song more than most Christmas ones. #11 was a toughie, and it was the only one that gave me pause. I would like to add one for O Come, O Come Emmanuel, my favorote Christmas song ever, but darned if I couldn't think of a non-obvious way to say it.

If you don’t have freedom as a principle, you can never see a reason not to make an exception. There are constantly going to be times when for one reason or another there’s some practical convenience in making an exception.
