6 White Christmas

[Legolassie]

I'm very grateful Daisy Mae. Super - thanks very much. Are you doing the same quiz? If you are I am happy to help with any you are stuck on. I have only two more to get but they are difficult to write down. 37 and 38

[DaisyMae]

Thanks but I'm not actually doing it. But Good Luck with it anyway.

what does i'm walking backwards for christmas mean?!

[Dinkypuzzled]

47. mid-DecEMber.

[Dinkypuzzled]

bedknobs - It was a Goon Show song.

[smouse]

on the day the quiz came out em was asked on here and the answer given was
25 December which does perhaps relate more to christmas
having seen it I cant get it out of my head

as in e second letter m 5th letter

Do you have 24

and even though its wrong have you put 9 something for 30

seems hard this time

[jared25]

Smouse for 24 I have got Christmas break. For no.30 I can only think of 9 drummers drumming but it should be 12 drummers drumming,

[smouse]

I had both of those so will go with them

once before he had different numbers to the norm for 12 days of christmas

thanks

[Legolassie]

Hi smouse, No 24 is christmas party - part e. we have had something similar before. Number 30 is 9 drummers drumming. Mike who sets the quiz goes off one particular '12 days of christmas song' and the numbers are different as I questioned one last year and he will only accept the answers from that one. Have you got the answers to 37 and 38?

[smouse]

thanks for that I remembered he once said he had a different version lol

18 I think we have had before is it oh little town

yes I do have 37 and 38
was quite pleased with myself and hope you get them from my clues
38 you need to break it down and I just googled all the words I could make sense of and it came up -its a famous song not a carol
the words on the right are what I got if from
word for armour another name for a tin meaning of inflorescence say N E out loud word for ancient what are the numbers and example of


37 is then from the same song

[Legolassie]

Hi Smouse, Is this an old song or a relatively modern one. I have tried alsorts to solve this - even googling. Can you give me another little clue?

[smouse]

1934
a classic
and recorded by loads of people

dont want to spoil a good quiz so am trying to be helpful as I can without giving the answer directly

I am watching this thread

[Legolassie]

Thanks smouse.

[Legolassie]

Hi again smouse, Lord am I struggling with this.
Amour - love
tin - can
inflorescence - flowers - cluster
NE - any
ancient - old - bygone
numbers - time

am I on the right track?
But can't get the words together with any christmas song I know. There are only 2 from 1934 and I don't seem to be able to find any of the words in them.

I did think of a song a couple of weeks ago - something to do with 'nevermind the weather as long as we're together' but don'tknow the title. I got this from answering the bubbles - seasons - climate and wewalkir and the 2 gethers.

[smouse]

try blossom for inflorescence and youre there

[smouse]

and romance not love sorry

[Legolassie]

Hi smouse. Brilliant but how do we fit all that into the small space we've got? lol Didn't know the song had a verse before the popular bit. I am very grateful thanks a lot. If there are any you haven't got I'd be glad to help.

[smouse]

I dont have that problem lol
I type all my answers on a spread sheet

got some I am not sure of but will go with them
but can you tell me if 18 is oh little town of
I am sure its one we've had before but am probably on the wrong track

My husband thought I had finally flipped when I got 37 and 38 as I was amazed with myself
