I think I've worked all of them out but no idea which one to go for.

Also, as is tradition (usually I ask @E.N. for bonus points but this year I think minus points would be preferable) : 

Happy Birthday @Homer J. Fong

[Kol]

Happy birthday @Homer J. Fong

Hope it's been a great one Homer

I only got 4. Saw the Christmas in #2 but couldn't figure out what the rest of the letters made

[E.N.]

I think Silent Night and Deck the Halls were the easiest two, and they're a double sheep.
A couple of good aces for Edser and Barna, while Liz slips up I'm afraid

I call shenanigans!

The anagram should have the same number of words as the song.

[aaronjennings]

I hate this game

[Leg End Reject]

I'm blaming @lorcand1990, I deliberately went for the most obvious one after his post yesterday.

[E.N.]

That sees Guiri reclaim the lead, but there's still only 5pts separating the top ten:

And that right there is the best Christmas present I could ask for

[nothing]

Sigh, didn't pick the worst option, but not the best either

[Jluv]

I'm disappointed I didn't see the 12 days of Christmas but I wouldn't have been thinking of it as a carol. Well played @Edser 👏.
And @Barna77 .
Absolutely never heard of Once in Royal David's City...

[BuileBeag]

The only one I couldnt get was We Three Kings. I knew it was gonna be easy but I just couldn't see it! I enjoyed that round though @E.N. so you get a pass this week!

[Sephiroth_Dude]

Me just now

[Jluv]

Just googled Once in Royal David's City and indeed I do know it but just didn't know the name. Every day is a learning day☺️

Once in Royal David's City
In a lowly cattle shed
Where a mother laid her baby
In a manger for a bed
Mary was that mother mild
Jesus Christ her little child

Or that's how the fairytale goes anyways.
Yes, I was in a choir as a young fella 🤣🤣

[E.N.]

Yes, I was in a choir as a young fella 🤣🤣

And so was born the love of performing in a frock

How was the panto this year?

Stop undermining my argument.

Went very well. So well that I'm considering attending the auditions for another groups show tomorrow evening 

Think I might leave it this time though been a long 3 months with this show!

[ari101]

I was busy all day and knew I would only get a proper look at them now, so I took the first one I could work out and sent that in - thought it looked sheepie, but it could have been worse than a 7 😂

@Homer J. Fong I have left over homemade coffee cake from a 1st birthday party (friend's MIL makes a nice one - everyone has to have redeeming features 😆). There was also a lovely home made jam and cream sponge (my friend made that) but I didn't take any left overs with me 😁

And for your birthday I offer you an additional 48 painting hours as a gift!

@E.N. do I have a lifeline?

[E.N.]

@E.N. do I have a lifeline?

You do, that's what the stars next to the names on the scoreboard are

I'm afraid it has to be played in advance though, or I'll automatically play it in the event of someone missing a day

[DejaBoo]

I thought the easier anagrams (with fewer letters) would definitely sheep, I was wrong (again!)

I see now    thank you @E.N.

[Sawduck]

I only figured out 3 of them but I was rushing to do a bit of Christmas shopping today, if I had more time I'd probably have figured out 3 of them.

[Barna77]

Happy completed trip around the sun Homer

[Posy]

20 players scored either 6 or 7, so at least I'm not too devastated by today's sheepishness. 😁

Exactly - you can never hit the sheep alone

Once in Royal David's City

Where a mother laid her baby
In a manger for a bed
Mary was that mother mild
Jesus Christ her little child

After she got a mention in Necro's beautiful song, let's focus on Mary today. Our rather, Marys...

Question 12: name one of the Marys in the pictures below...

[Necro]

[HildaSilvioOgden]

That's my gracious loser face 😁 but I have to say, I'm really enjoying the game @E.N. Well done!
