Here is the thread you shouldn't be reading if you want to play the Christmas Intros Game. That's because here are the answers!
Look away now if you are in the wrong place! ;D And go to the other Christmas Intros Game thread and take part.

Please feel free to post your scores if you want. But please do it in the original game thread. (Sorry to Vicki as I just changed that - just so the game itself keeps getting bumped.) Or just tell us you joined in. Or ignore me if you want to, but I still won't go away, he-he ;D
Happy Christmas to all

Well, clearly I'm no Christmas nerd. I got the correct title for #2 and #5. And I had two incorrect guesses. I haven't even heard of several of those songs. I am very sad I missed #10. I should have gotten that one.
Two points for me out of 30. :-[ :P ::)
