How the Christmas songs timeline works

The cards are famous Christmas recordings, with the artist printed below each title, and the order is the year that recording came out. One song sits on the line from the start with its year in view. From there it's your call where each new recording goes. Land it and the year is revealed. Miss and the song still moves to its true spot, and one of three lives goes with it. Run off ten correct placements in a row and a lost life is restored.

The deck moves from crooners and big bands through early rock and roll, girl groups and the wall of sound, then on to charity singles, pop divas and modern stars. The artist matters more than the song, because some standards appear in more than one version and it's the recording that counts. Songs that get played every holiday season feel ageless, which makes them easy to put in the wrong era.

Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
