[UPDATE NOTE: I put an enlarged one for “A” in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there   it might help. Although enlarging tends to make it even fuzzier.  Try to imagine it as just a plain pencil drawing w/ no color. They were tough to figure out, especially back then.

UPDATE #2: I went back and found the original BW one – and it is MUCH CLEARER!  Hopefully this helps.  And why they colored the middle item in #18 green I’ll never know.]

We can thank JD for inspiring today’s theme.  A “REBUS” as defined by Merriam Webster:

: a representation of words or syllables by pictures of objects or by symbols whose names resemble the intended words or syllables in sound

also : a riddle made up of such pictures or symbols

You might have noticed I posted one the other day in a reply to JD.  As an example I used the Rebus she had posted in another blog …

Which would be solved as “Straighten Up and Fly Right”

As a nod to the Holiday Season, a couple of decades ago I remember enjoying a Christmas Song themed Rebus game at a party.  In fact I found that very same puzzle online – although now it’s in color, but a bit fuzzy.  (I suppose time does that to all of us.)  And a newer, but briefer version.

So I’m going to post two Christmas Song Rebuses for you to solve.  Some of them are a bit of a stretch of your imagination, and there will be overlap – but that’s OK.  You can either post your answer in Comments or keep an answer list.  But I won’t be posting the Official Answers until Saturday, in order to give everyone time to take a guess.  (Sorry – but there are NO prizes.)
