Congratulations to VinylDaftDad J., who finished a couple of points clear of the field in last week’s sorting quiz.
It’s Boxing Day here in NZ, but I’m aware it’s still Christmas day in other parts of the world. Feel free to hang with family today and save this quiz for later.
This week’s quiz is Christmas themed. You need to link the song to the emojis.

I scored 16/18. Unusually, I ran out of time – that doesn’t normally happen for me, but 2 minutes to process 18 series of emojis is tight. Can you get all 18?
Have a great Christmas and a happy new year!
Taking my daughters to Frozen 2 last week, it occurred to me how much the Frozen characters parallel the characters in the original Star Wars trilogy.
Elsa = Luke Skywalker: the character with special powers, who’s learning to control them.
Princess Anna = Princess Leia: sister of the above, feisty, independent female character.
Kristoff = Han Solo: love interest of the above, despite being a scruffy nerf/reindeer herder of dubious reputation.
Sven = Chewbacca: faithful sidekick of the above, non-verbal. Sven also doubles as the Millennium Falcon.
Olaf = C-3PO: comic relief character. Riddled with anxiety. Skilled at recapping plots of previous movies to native forest inhabitants.

Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day! I got 16 out of 18 as well with 19 seconds left. Also, great insight on Frozen II. Going to see Star Wars tomorrow…I think.
I saw Star Wars on Monday – I thought it did a good job of feeling like Star Wars and resolving unanswered questions. I see a lot of people hating the sequels (especially The Last Jedi) but I think they’ve done a good job. Much better than the prequels – those were hard to watch with the terrible scripts and some bad casting decisions. The sequels have had a really good cast – Adam Driver is great, Oscar Isaac oozes charisma, and Daisy Ridley does well at holding everything together.
10 of 18 for me. I think I would have done better but I did not pay attention to the timer and suddenly realized I had, like, 8 seconds left. Warning to anyone taking this – you have to answer quickly. Anyway, I enjoyed the break from family duties. Don’t box over there too much or at least, wear gloves before you get in the ring!
Boxing Day isn’t a thing in the US right? Makes sense to have a lot of public holidays around this time in NZ, as it’s summer (although weather is often weird around this time, much more settled in February and March).
No it’s not. It’s a Brit thing, yes?
Yes and we are a colony.
God Save the Queen!
That fascist regime.
Heh!
Happy Boxing Day! I got perfect score with 5 seconds to spare. I had done one of these at a office Christmas party so had the general concept although this was a bit easier with the matching aspect of it. Thanks for doing these each week – really enjoy them! Looking forward to 2020.
Great – looks like you’re in the lead so far. Hope you’re having a great Christmas!
Oh yeah, great insight into Frozen/Star Wars parallel – hadn’t thought of that before!
I had a search on the web and couldn’t see much discussion on it, although I didn’t look very hard.
SCORE
18/18 SCORE with 2 seconds to go. It took Christmas for me to get a perfect score again lol. Have a great Christmas
Perfect score, and second fastest time so far. It’s already the 26th here, but have a great rest of Christmas!
Thanks!
Wow! Got them all with one second to spare!
Sounds like the most exciting Christmas since Die Hard! I’ve been listening to the Peanuts album by the way….
Oh and merry belated Christmas.
18/18 with 1:03 left, I just looked at the last emoji and word to match. The ‘Mele Kalikimaka’ one is difficult though.
Wow – that’s a crazy fast time!
18/18 with 1:03 left, I just linked up the last emoji and word up
The Mele Kalikimaka one is difficult though.
No way! I topped a quiz week! Magic.
I’ve never seen any of the Frozen flicks, though it wasn’t possible to escape the song a few years ago.
Anyhoo, I scored 16 there before the time ran out.
Also, happy Boxing Day. I hope you had a great Christmas.
Yup it was good thank you – pretty low key with family. My wife’s family and my family all hang out together, which is nice.
I like the movie a whole lot better than the ‘Let It Go’ song. Some of the other songs are pretty funny, that one’s just a boring torch song.
If only I had an extra 15 seconds. If only I hadn’t driven nearly 10 hours yesterday from New York to North Carolina. If only this quiz had 14 clues instead of 18. Oh well, I will settle for 14/18. Hope you & your loved ones had a Merry Christmas. Happy New Year too.
Yup we are good, only a few hours of 2019 left to go.
