This puzzle is about some traditional Christmas carols and hymns, such as...
1: Silent Night
2: Good King Wenceslas
3: Joy to the World
4: God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen
5: O Little Town of Bethlehem
6: Away in a Manger
7: O Come All Ye Faithful
8: Angels, from the Realms of Glory

But these carols are also known by tune names that represent the music to which the well-known lyrics are set...
1: God Rest You Merry
2: Antioch
3: Greensleeves
4: Mendelssohn
5: Mueller
6: Stille Nacht
7: Adeste Fideles
8: Tempus Adest Floridum
9: Regent Square
0: St Louis
The coordinates assume degrees N 40 and W 78, and the minute format is in the well-known AB.CDE for both North and West.
For North, use the carol names; for West, use the tune names.
Use the geo-checker to be sure that your answer will lead you to the correct location. The checker will also reveal a hint about the hiding location and suggested parking coordinates.
Congratulations to r.e.s.t.seekers and ted28285 for the FTF on a snowy Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
For all geocachers making the next finds: If there are still Christmas cards left in the can (in the bag with the log book), please take one with you until they are all gone.
The final coordinates will take you to state game lands, so PLEASE observe all state game land rules and wear orange during hunting seasons. During the primary hunting season, finding this cache is recommended on Sunday only.
This is a Green-Hippo cache
Merry Christmas from mrGreen317 and SageHippo!
