THE PUZZLE CORNER: DECEMBER 24, 2011

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
Let's start by decorating the tree...

REBUS
Our decorations are up, but the Puzzle Corner certainly doesn't do anything without an ulterior motive.
There is a special message within our decorating scheme. Do you know what it is?



CHRISTMAS COMMON BONDS
Besides the holidays, each item within their respective sets has something else in common.
Do you know what it is?
01. {Meet Me In Saint Louis, The Lemon Drop Kid}
02. {Alistair Simm, George C. Scott}
03. {two airplanes, a hula hoop}
04. {A rock and roll electric guitar; a doll that cries, eats, sleeps, and wets}
05. {Sebastian Cabot, Edmund Gwenn}

We'll belatedly reveal these Christmas results next weekend. But for now, let's open our gift wrapped ANSWERS BOX and discover what Christmas tunes we were singing in the December 17 Puzzle Corner.

01. This is Santa's big scene is from Silver Bells.
02. Love knows no season is actually from the FULL LENGTH version of Winter Wonderland. Up until the 1950s, many songs had a prologue verse, for lack of a better term. For whatever reason(s) later recordings of many of those tunes skipped the prologue.
03. Where the love light gleams is from I'll Be Home For Christmas.
04. Reindeer really know how to fly is discovered during The Christmas Song.
05. Some homemade pumpkin pie is served when you discover There's No Place Like Home For The Holidays.
06. Marshmallows for roasting because It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year!
07. Have a cup of cheer during A Holly, Jolly Christmas.
08. And we'll do some caroling Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree.
09. Christmas is nigh is from Pretty Paper.
10. Beauty everywhere because Christmas Time Is Near.


MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OUR READERSHIP!
