I received this Christmas Song Challenge one year at a Christmas Party. I 
simply took it home and and stuck it in a desk drawer where it laid for 
several years. I re-discovered it this fall and tried to come up with the
correct answers. If you have any suggestions concerning rewording some of
the song descriptions or even better answers then please let me know or even
post them. I have had a lot of enjoyment with this. I have now put the 
answers in alphabetical order below the descriptions and made it a matching
challenge. This makes it more fun for the general public.
