Now that Saffron's Treasure Hunt competition is coming to a close, and as some of you have speculated, I am organising a Christmas competition.
It won't be half as good the amazing Saff herself, but I hope you enjoy it :)
Competition Layout

The competition is split into 3 rounds.

Round 1: Christmas Anagrams (55 Points)

Solve the 40 anagrams to form 40 forumite names.
If there is any punctuation, this should be included to help form the forumite names.
All letters shown can be changed to capitals or vice versa as you see fit.
Spaces can be introduced or taken away as you see fit.
The last 3 anagrams form 3 sets of lyrics, each from a different Christmas song.
From the 3 lyric lines, find the title of each Christmas song.

Round 2: My Christmas Scene (35 Points)
Round 3: Christmas Search (60 Points)

Scoring for Round 1

You will score 1 point per forumite anagram that is correct.
You will score 5 points for each correct Christmas song title.
Edit: If you find all of the small words (5 letters or less) from each lyric, but not the title, you will receive 2 points.
Edit: If you find all of the large words (6 letters or more) from each lyric, but not the title, you will receive 2 points.
The maximum score for round 1 is 55.

Thanks TF
Hopefully you will like the next few rounds too :)

lol ^

So db, how do the 5 points for the Xmas titles work, if say, I partly decode it but not the entire phrase?

__________________

LMAO
I just searched e-bay for "NH" and "boy" to place a bid..........
Lookie what I found

LMAO Saffron It's yours!! That thing is creepy!!!

Ah, I thought I might have needed more clarification here.

Each anagram is a separate word, which makes up one line of a lyric.
The best way to explain this is by use of an example.

For example:
dogo dingtis ew nibrg ot yuo adn royu nik = good tidings we bring to you and your kin

Therefore the song title is "We Wish You A Merry Christmas"

If you partially get the lyric you may be able to search for the title, although if you don't get the title, no points will be awarded.

__________________

Yeah I got that bit...

But what if, say, we get some of the words that make the lyric up, but not all?

And, what if, for some unknown reason, we get the lyrics, but don't find the song title (unlikely to happen, but what if it does)?

Edit: OK, read the addition to your post. :)

Maybe you could make it so that we get partial points for decoding part of the lyrics?
