Let’s do something a little different. I am an absolute fool for Christmas music, so this challenge is inspired by my favorite Christmas songs.
Your task is to match a book title word from any five of the songs listed below. The word must be an exact match. You must use five different song titles, though you can repeat a word (“Christmas” is in three song titles, for example). One book title per song title. EXCLUDED from the match: “a” “the” (All other words are able to be matched.) You do NOT need to pick the songs in advance. And feel free to match more than five if the spirit moves you.
The song titles:
Angels We Have Heard On High
I'll Be Home For Christmas
Santa Baby
Oh Holy Night
Winter Wonderland
We Need a Little Christmas
Silver Bells
Joy To the World
White Christmas
It Came Upon a Midnight Clear
Be sure to identify the SONG title as well as the matching word in the BOOK title.
==============================================
RULES OF THE CHALLENGE
All books used must be a minimum of 100 pages long - Page length determined by HARDCOVER 1st edition. If there is no Hardcover, then the most popular paperback governs page #.
You may read in any format - text, audio or e-book.
You MUST finish the book before you can claim credit for completing a task.
