I've often been accused by close family members of being slooooow to catch the holiday spirit. They've even associated me with the phrase Bah, Humbug!!! Well, in my defense, I simply don't want to peak too early. Starting holiday shopping in early July would have me peaking in July instead of late December. Hence, just to PROVE I am not a Scrooge in 2016, I present this hide to you as my holiday gift to the geocaching community in the form of a little fun (the puzzle shouldn't prove too difficult) and an easy smiley (pretty straightforward hide). Have a Happy Holiday, everybody!!!
As I was humming “Have a Jolly-Wally Christmas, It’s The Best Time Of The Year…” to myself recently, it occurred to me to have some fun with some other common Christmas Carols by reinventing their titles to be “Politically Correct”… in commemoration of this REALLY “HUGE” election year, of course. Here's an easy example. I hereby propose the title "I Beheld My Maternal Parent Osculating A Corpulent Unshaven Male In a Crimson Guise" replace "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus". Get it? It's really that simple. See if you can decipher the common names for these other songs to reveal the location of my cache gift to you.
Final Cache Location = North AB CD.EFG, West 0HJ KL.MNP
