And for your puzzle enjoyment, here is a little quiz featuring all those beloved holiday classics produced by the Rankin-Bass studio.
Can you match the Narrating Host to their special?
Note: Since not every narrator was actually a character within the story, some of them either appeared as "themselves" or did not actually appear on screen at all. And the possibilities in both lists are presented alphabetically.
THE NARRATORS THE SPECIALS
a. Fred Astaire 01. Frosty The Snowman (1969)
b. Shirley Booth 02. Frosty Returns (1992)
c. Jimmy Durante 03. Frosty's Winter Wonderland (1976)
d. Greer Garson 04. The Little Drummer Boy (1968)
e. Andy Griffith 05. Jack Frost (1979)
f. Buddy Hackett 06. Nestor, The Long Earred Christmas Donkey (1977)
g. Burl Ives 07. Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer (1964)
h. Roger Miller 08. Rudolph's Shining New Year (1976)
i. Red Skelton 09. Santa Claus Is Coming To Town (1970)
j. Jonathan Winters 10. The Year Without A Santa Claus (1974)
We'll unwrap and open THE ANSWERS BOX to reveal all next weekend. But for now, let's see what the results were from the December 18 Puzzle Corner.
COMMON BONDS
01. Frosty The Snowman and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer were both first recorded by Gene Autry.
02. Eartha Kitt and Madonna have both recorded Santa Baby, although personally I think Ms. Kitt purred it better.
REBUS
NOEL. Because alas, no matter how festively decorated our tree looks there is NO L.
