Name That Christmas Carol Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Caveboy_ken: Tornado this past weekend wiped out the tree this was located in. Lots of busted up trees near by so replacing it in another at GZ isn't a very safe option. They are known as widow makers for good reason. I've been threatening to archive this for a while now and with the current situation I have good reason. Thanks to all who visited!

As an additional note as there have been a few questions.... If doing an internet search for the song names sometimes what's returned has more than 1 title. As an example "Little town of Bethlehem" or "O little town of Bethlehem" The following clue #'s 3,9,and 10 should have the "O" at the beginning of the title and it is to be considered a word.
