Ernie,
Apart from reindeer, the robin on a xmas card and the animals you eat what are "christmas creatures"?
can you give us a couple of examples of ones you've solved.

Yet another deafening silence Terry.

30 cuckoo? - from a child.s carol - "from out of a wood did a cuckoo fly"

Bit of a long shot I think.

22 - Turkey (merrythought is anothere word for wishbone)

19. Angels? Not strictly creatures, I know, but just a thought.

thank you all for your efforts
the reason for deathly silence was it was bed time as i had work in the morning

Ernie,

It seems pretty obvious -from the lack of responses- that most people don't "get" this. Do you intend to respond to my request or have you also lost interest.
