The reverse side of this double-sided limited edition Christmas jigsaw holds the answers to solving the 12 Christmas carols in the picture.

➡️ Also available is a free PDF file which contains all the answers. The file can also be printed out for ease of use. Click here if you want the PDF file of answers.

1) Good King Wenceslas

This was cleverly not the obvious reference of King as I first suspected. You need to delve a little deeper into the lyrics of this Christmas carol so you find "When a poor man came in sight, gathering winter fuel." Then you can spot the man behind the lamp post on the right who is carrying a bundle of twigs, presumably to light a fire with.

2) Ding Dong Merrily on High

What is a dinging and a donging merrily on high? Why it's The Bells sign for the public house (pub) on the top right.

3) O' Little Town of Bethlehem

Hopefully you can easily spot the Bethlehem Lane sign on the house with the festive red door.


4) I Saw Three Ships Go Sailing By

To see all three ships, you need to look carefully in the windows.

5) Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

The golden angels are on the Christmas tree inside the main house.

6) The First Noel

The First Noel is what the carollers are singing. It is printed on their carol books.

7) The Holly and The Ivy

The holly and the ivy are the not very subtle green plants at the bottom left.

8) O' Come All Ye Faithful

This is the carol that the gentleman on the right has printed on his carol book.

9) Silent Night

I thought this could refer to the child who is sleeping in one of the windows. However, from looking at the back of this double-sided jigsaw, it seems it is the moon. Get a point for either of those answers.

10) Once in Royal David's City

Look to the lyrics of this Christmas carol "When like stars his children crowned,
all in white shall be around" that points to the stars in the sky. If you didn't get that reference but thought you can spot a lowly cattle shed in the distant hills, you can have a point for that instead.

11) Away in a Manger

The baby manger is in the window of the house at the bottom left.

12) While Shepherds Watch Their Flocks by Night

There is a picture of a sheep on a plate that looks out of place in a window of the house on the right. There's also a shepherd tending to his flocks up at the top right of the design. So you can award yourself a point for either of those answers.

NOTE: Add up your score and go to the Night Before Christmas search and find page to see how you did!

I hope you enjoyed this game!
