THE PUZZLE CORNER: DECEMBER 31, 2011

And here we are, our last Puzzle Corner for 2011. Considering we won't be opening the Answers Box for this one until 2012, let's look ahead towards the new year instead of looking back, shall we?

TRIVIA TIME
What will EVERYONE around the world have in 2012 that they did NOT have in 2011?

THE LETTER SHUFFLE
Since everyone will probably be making some as the years change, how many other words can you make out of the letters in word RESOLUTION?

We'll reveal all the first Saturday of 2012. Meanwhile, let's peek inside the last ANSWERS BOX for 2011, and discover the results from our Christmas Party Puzzle Corner December 24th.

REBUS
We were celebrating NOEL, for there was NO 'L' amongst the decorations on our tree.

COMMON BONDS
01. {Meet Me In Saint Louis, The Lemon Drop Kid}
Both these movies begat Christmas songs that have withstood the test of time. Judy Garland first wished Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas in Saint Louis while Bob Hope first chimed Silver Bells as the Kid.
02. {Alistair Simm, George C. Scott}
Both of these distinguished actors have portrayed Ebenezer Scrooge during film versions of A Christmas Carol.
03. {Two airplanes, a hula hoop}
Those were the requested items by Alvin and the Chipmunks in The Chipmunk Song.
04. {A rock and roll electric guitar; a doll that cries, eats, sleeps, and wets}
Those were the items requested by children of Santa in Run, Run, Rudolph.
05. {Sebastian Cabot, Edmund Gwenn}
Both actors have portrayed Kris Kringle during film versions of Miracle On 34th Street.

We of The Puzzle Corner and The Free Choice E-zine hope everyone had a good holiday and we look forward to more enigmas in 2012.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
