Before Christmas Mystery Cache

This cache is temporarily unavailable.

Ngaambul: Hi missluckie,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, or it may not but in the absence of the cache owner performing maintenance and/or disabling the cache to check it out, I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 4 weeks) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 4 weeks to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Ngaambul - Matt

Geocache Description:

*** DO NOT VISIT THE LISTED COORDINATES. THE CACHE IS NOT THERE SO WHY GO THERE?***

Ho ho ho, guess what it is almost that time of year again with only 34 days until Christmas. Hasn't this year gone incredibly fast!!

This cache is stocked full of Christmas goodies, so please swap what you like but trying to keep the Christmas Theme going.

The puzzle will test out your knowledge of Christmas Carols, so you will be prepared for Carols by Candlelight and surprise your family members by belting out these common tunes :)


Below are the first letters of the words in the first line of popular Christmas tunes.
The number at the end indicates which word in the line is important. Count the letters in that word and fit it into the appropriate place to get the final coordinates for the cache.

For example:

X = OTWOIF (3)

This familiar Christmas song is "Let it Snow" and the first line is "Oh the weather outside is frightful". The significant word is the third word, which is "weather", a seven letter word. Therefore the letter X would have a value of 7.

PLEASE NOTE: You are looking for the first LINE of the song and not the title.

You will find GZ at:
S 33 AB.CDE
E 151 FG.HIJ

A= SNHNAICAIB (6)
B= WTKOOA (2)
C = OHNTSABS (2)
D= FTSWAJHS (8)
E= DTHWBOHFLLLLLLLL (5)
F= CTTMPRPPP (4)
G= OLTOBHSWSTL (1) - Interchange letter with 'lookalike' number
H= AIAMNCFHB (3)
I= OCAYFJAT (1)
J= JTTWTLIC (4)
