In this week’s Nickel Quiz, it’s snowing outside, there are presents beneath a splendidly decorated tree, and the Christmas songs are playing at full volume (if only to piss off the neighbors who didn’t bake you any cookies this year)!
Each song is this week’s quiz is a popular holiday song and we’re looking for the original artist. The year that each song was released is listed after the lyric as an extra clue. And, as usual, scoring is on the honor system (no Binging or Googling):
- Correct Artist: 1 point
- Correct Song Title: 1 point
- Maximum Score: 10 points
