THE PUZZLE CORNER: DECEMBER 9, 2017

FUN FACT
Because Thurl Ravenscroft was accidentally unaccredited in the 1966 television special How The Grinch Stole Christmas, the singing of ♫You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch♫ is sometimes attributed to Boris Karloff.

REBUS
Something familiar is represented in the image at right.
Do you know what it is?

THE LETTER SHUFFLE
How many new words can you spell out of the letters in CHRISTMAS?

We’ll reveal all next weekend, but for now, let’s open up THE ANSWERS BOX and discover the results from the December 2, 2017 Puzzle Corner.

TRIVIA TIME
When was the original version of Miracle on 34th Street released?
June 4, 1947; because Darryl F. Zanuck was under the impression even Christmas themed movies did better during the summer months. Either way, 2017 is the classic’s 70th anniversary.

WHAT’S THAT SONG?
The lyric from a famous Christmas carol is below. All you have to do is identify the song. Ready?

♫And mom and dad can hardly wait for school to start again!♫

The line is from ♫It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas♫, but one has to wonder how the parents of the past would feel about the over hyped commercialism of today.
