Being creative with words can be fun. See what a bit of word juggling can do to the titles of the Christmas carols about the birth of Jesus.

Creative Fun

Creativity should be fun, especially at Christmas time, so let's have some fun with words. These clues are of my own creation. If you use them at a party, please observe copyright law by listing my name and the URL of this page.

I have split up the clues into those telling the real Christmas story and those which present other songs of the season. All the carols in this article involve the story of the birth of Jesus. The other ones I will keep for next year.
