Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "It is wrong when the babe is sleeping, it is wrong to talk so loud."

Answer: Bring a Torch Jeannette, Isabella

A beautiful French carol.
2. "Evergreen are its branches clean. It is king of all the woodland scene."

Answer: Gather Around the Christmas Tree

A powerful English carol with a raucous chorus of "Hosannah in the Highest."
3. "Why should men on Earth be so sad when our redeemer made us glad?"

Answer: On Christmas Night

The other three are (obviously) carols from England with very distinctive melodies.
4. "Streams of streetlights, even stoplights, blink a bright red and green."

Answer: Silver Bells

This was written as a portrait of the city at Christmas time. The bells referred to in the title were the Salvation Army bells. It was originally written as "Tinkle Bells", but the wife of the man who wrote it reminded him what "tinkle" meant to most people, so it was quickly changed.
5. "I just got back from a lovely trip along the Milky Way."

Answer: Santa Claus is Coming To Town

The often forgotten introduction to this song. (I made up the Rudolph one.)
6. "Good Christian Men Rejoice" has its lyrics set to what Christmas piece written by Bach?

Answer: In Dulci Jubilo

Bach wrote all of these pieces. Incidently, "A Mighty Fortress" is the theme to the children's show "Davy and Goliath."
7. What is the original French name of the carol commonly known as "O Holy Night"?

Answer: Cantique de Noel

There really is a French carol which translates as "What is That Beautiful Smell."
8. Who co-wrote "The Christmas Song(Chestnuts Roasting)"?

Answer: Mel Torme

I'd love to get his royalty check every season!
9. Which famous silly Christmas song was made famous by Spike Jones?

Answer: All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth

10. Handel's Messiah has come to be known as a Christmas oratorio. Which is not a selection from that work?

Answer: Blessed Are the Meek, For They Shall Inherit

No actual words of Jesus are used in the Messiah.
