Gleaning Facebook: Yuletide Melodies

 I had a great time today telling tales at the Christmas gathering of the Lavender View Garden Club. Then after dinner we were given a twenty part puzzle to solve. I won! I got all 20 correct. Can you?

Having taught school beginning in 1969, I have had the privilege of learning to interpret educationese. That language is a difficult one to master, but after all these years I had an advantage over the other folks at the party. These song titles appropriate to the season have been written in that language. Can you translate them into the more melodic words of standard English?

1. Bleached Yule

2. Castaneous-colored Seed Vesicated in a Conflagration

3. Singular Yearning for the Twin Anterior Incisors

4. Righteous Darkness

5. Arrival Time2400 hrs - WeatherCloudless

6. Loyal Followers Advance

7. Far Off in a Feeder

8. Array the Corridor

9. Bantam Male Percussionist

10. Monarchial Triad

11. Nocturnal Noiselessness

12. Jehovah Deactivate Blithe Chevaliers

13. Red Man En Route to Borough

14. Frozen Precipitation Commence

15. Proceed and Enlighten on the Pinnacle

16. The Quadruped with the Vermillion Probiscis

17. Query Regarding Identity of Descendant

18. Delight for this Planet

19. Give Attention to the Melodious Celestial Beings

20. The Dozen Festive 24 Hour Intervals

Ready. Set. Go!
