Thread: Christmas song

Flood · 10-02-2007, 03:18 PM

Can anyone help? My Mum has been given a quizz to do and it's all about Christmas songs. You're given the initials of the song and you have to work it out from there. For example WSWTFBN is While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night and AIAM is Away in a Manger. It doesn't have to be carols either, RARC, is Rock and Roll Christmas.
She has done them all except one, TAG, and it's driving her (and me) nuts! Could anyone please help to save my sanity?!! Thanks.

Making my brain ache this one if Flood................lol I had a similar type of quiz to do when I did physiotherapy last year and there is a name for this sort of quiz................can I think of it ? No............brain is on empty !
Can only thing it might be something to do with Angels, glory...........God..........nope..........sorry.. ................even googling christmas carols didn't come up with anything that fitted those letters.
If I can find out the name of this sort of quiz I'll get back to you.
