I did pretty good especially since I had to guess on a few because I didn't remember hearing those parts.

I got 17 out of 18 and I must admit I just don't remember them being refered to as eagles.
I also remembered it as a "MERRY Christmas to all and to all a good night," but luckily that didn't hurt my answer any
It was a great quiz and even made me feel a little cooler in this 80 degree weather.
Thank you very much.
