virtual advent tour 2022: day 16
posted by soe 6:00 am

Virtual Advent Tour 2022
Today’s Virtual Advent Tour gives you a game to work on while you’re between tasks. I remember being in high school the first time a teacher gave us a version of it, probably on a day after a test or before early dismissal, when we were unbearably inattentive or rowdy. We all had a lot of fun, and I hope you enjoy it too:

Here are the initials of the titles of 25 conventional Christmas tunes. Can you figure them all out? (All initials are capitalized, regardless of whether the word should be in the title.)

  1. OCT
  2. JTTW
  3. GKW
  4. SN
  5. OCAYF
  6. TLDB
  7. GTIOTM
  8. TFN
  9. FTS
  10. HTHAS
  11. OHN
  12. RTRNR
  13. OLTOB
  14. SB
  15. AIAM
  16. IHTBOCD
  17. DTH
  18. JB
  19. AWHHOH
  20. GRYMG
  21. WCIT
  22. SCICTT
  23. UOTH
  24. WC
  25. ITMWTOTY

I’ll post the answers over the weekend. Have fun!

Three beautiful things from my past week:

1. Susan invites me to come to the book sale she’s helping to run for her daughter’s elementary school and pitch in for a while. It’s nice to be useful — and to have some of my Christmas shopping benefit others.

2. Anna invites me to come see her office before our volleyball game. She works for a nonprofit that helps get books into teachers’ hands and she’s decorated a wall of with spreads from unbound picture book proofs. Our friend Neal joins us and he draws on her white board for her.

3. I walk toward the Georgetown Safeway to get cat litter, but en route, stop at a playground to swing for a while and then at Book Hill to watch the tail end of the sunset.

How about you? What’s been beautiful in your world lately?
