12 Days of Blogmas, Day 11

OK, here we are at the second-to-last day of Christmas. Which means it's the second-to-last chance for you to enter my contest.

You remember what to do, right?

1. Look at the pictures.


2. Try to figure out what Christmas carol they represent. (Usually I show the first line of the first verse, i.e., "Silent night, holy night" because just "Silent Night" would be too short.)


3. Leave a comment with your well-reasoned and thoughtful solution. Or take the opportunity to make fun of me.


4. If you're right, you win a $15 Starbucks gift card. (Or iTunes, if you prefer Dunkin Donuts coffee--and who doesn't?)


5. And here's a hint, because honestly, the emails are getting to me.
   
   Most of the time, the phrase I'm using includes little words--basic verbs, articles, pronouns, and prepositions--that produce pretty strange results in Google Images. After all, it's THE first Noel and WE three kings OF orient ARE. And when you do a search for the, we, of, and are, you come up with pretty random images.
   
   So look for the nouns. Christmas carol-y nouns like angels, mangers, stars, nights, oxen, and asses.



6. Also, in today's contest, I repeated a preposition from one of my previous days. And Manet was not painting an angel.



7. OK, angels little birds. It's out of the manger nest with you.

Ready?
