    Found it easier to think of Xmas songs and then see if it's in the list. Got most of them now.

    Gah..I know all the tunes... but having not actually sung them or looked at the words for YEARS it's difficult... It's hard to sing with a trumpet stuffed in yer gob

    After a few years working in retail at Xmas, I have found I know the words to most of them subconsciously now.

    Re: Festive Challenge

    After 5 mins, i've been hit by a wave of absolutely no ideas

    EDIT: [indignance]Hey, they aren't the titles, the titles don't usually contain half the song! No wonder I can't get them [/indignance]
