2. What song does this bridge come from? "Off with my overcoat, off with my gloves I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love"

Answer: I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm

Irving Berlin's "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm" was introduced in the 1937 Twentieth Century Fox film "On the Avenue", where it was sung by Dick Powell and Alice Faye. My favorite version is by Tony Bennett.

3. What song does this bridge come from? "Oh, the world is your snowball, see how it grows That's how it goes, whenever it snows The world is your snowball. Just for a song Get out and roll it along"

Answer: A Marshmallow World

"A Marshmallow World" was written in 1949 by composer Peter DeRose and lyricist Carl Sigman. Among the first to record it in 1950 were Vaughn Monroe, Bing Crosby and Johnny Desmond. It has subsequently been covered by artists as diverse as Dean Martin, Darlene Love and Oscar Peterson. My favorite version was recorded by Johnny Mathis in 1963.

4. What song does this bridge come from? "A pair of hop-a-long boots and a pistol that shoots Is the wish of Barney and Ben Dolls that can talk and will go for a walk Is the hope of Janice and Jen And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again"

Answer: It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Meredith Willson, of "The Music Man" fame, wrote "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" in 1951. Both Bing Crosby and Perry Como and The Fontaine Sisters made popular recordings of the song, as did Johnny Mathis. It is also sometimes paired with "Pinecones and Holly Berries" in a medley and sung in counterpoint. I particularly like this medley by The Living Voices.

5. What song does this bridge come from? "Oh ho the mistletoe hung where you can see Somebody waits for you. Kiss her once for me"

Answer: A Holly Jolly Christmas

"A Holly Jolly Christmas" is one of the songs Johnny Marks wrote for the beloved television special "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer", which first aired on December 6, 1964. Like the program's title song, "A Holly Jolly Christmas" has become a seasonal standard.

6. Is the song with the following bridge "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year"? "There'll be parties for hosting, marshmallows for toasting And caroling out in the snow There'll be scary ghost stories and tales of the glories Of Christmases long, long ago"

Answer: Yes

"It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" is a 1963 song written by Edward Pola and George Wyle. The song is perhaps best known in the 1965 recording by Andy Williams.

7. What song does this bridge come from? "What a bright time, it's the right time To rock the night away Jingle bell time is a swell time To go riding in a one-horse sleigh"

Answer: Jingle Bell Rock

First recorded in 1957 by Bobby Helms, "Jingle Bell Rock" is attributed to Joseph Carleton Beal and James Ross Boothe, though this authorship has been disputed. Both Helms and session guitarist Hank Garland maintained the Beal/Boothe song they were given, called "Jingle Bell Hop", was of such low quality they were disinclined to record it.

They totally rewrote it, including adding the bridge and changing the title. This claim has never been substantiated; and neither Helms nor Garland ever received writing credits or royalties. If the claim is true, then the actual writers of one of the most popular Christmas songs of all time suffered a grave injustice.

8. What song does this bridge come from? "You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear Voices singing let's be jolly Deck the halls with boughs of holly"

Answer: Rockin' around the Christmas Tree

Johnny Marks wrote "Rockin' around the Christmas Tree" in 1958. It is most closely identified with Brenda Lee, who recorded the song that year.

9. What song does this bridge come from? "Then Santa said, 'Jack Frost will bring my Christmas gift to you And on Christmas Eve you'll jingle, just like you were brand new!'"

Answer: The Bell That Couldn't Jingle

Larry Kusik and Burt Bacharach wrote this charming Christmas song in 1962. Perhaps not as well known as other songs in this quiz, it was recorded in the 1960s by Herb Alpert as well as by The Anita Kerr Singers. I'm partial to the latter version.

10. What song does this bridge come from? "No one for miles around, frost on the pane Two people sharing castles in Spain"

Answer: Snowbound for Christmas

"Snowbound for Christmas" was written in 1955 by Al Chorney, Sid Shrager, and Hal Shrager. It was recorded that year by The De Castro Sisters. My favorite rendition was laid down by Dickie Valentine in 1957.

11. What song does this bridge come from? "When we finally kiss goodnight How I'll hate going out in the storm But if you really hold me tight All the way home I'll be warm"

Answer: Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

"Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" was written by Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne in 1945. From Vaughn Monroe that year to Neil Sedaka in 2008, countless fine recordings of this song have been produced. My favorites are by Andy Williams and Robert Goulet.

12. What song does this bridge come from? "They know that Santa's on his way He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh And every mother's child is gonna spy To see if reindeer really know how to fly"

Answer: The Christmas Song

Mel Torm� and Bob Wells wrote "The Christmas Song" to try and keep themselves cool in the hot summer of 1945. It seems everyone who is anyone has recorded this classic tune. Besides Nat "King" Cole's iconic recording, my favorites are by Engelbert Humperdinck and Andy Williams.

13. What song does this bridge come from? "Then comes the big night, giving the tree the trim You'll hear voices by starlight singing a Christmas hymn"

Answer: Mistletoe and Holly

"Mistletoe and Holly" was written in 1957 by Dok Stanford, Hank Sanicola and Frank Sinatra. The song is so closely associated with Sinatra that relatively few other artists have recorded it. Among those who have are Jack Jones and Charlie Byrd.

Frank Pooler wrote the lyrics to "Merry Christmas Darling" in 1944, and Richard Carpenter wrote the melody in 1966. Since The Carpenters first recorded the song in 1970, it has been a seasonal favorite. Johnny Mathis covered it on his 2013 album "Sending You a Little Christmas".

15. What song does this bridge come from? "Tick tock, two lovers watch the clock, as the old year slowly slips away I pray, one year from today, we'll be embracing in the same old way"
