I was unfamiliar with Montgomery Ward, and thought it sounded like an old English hospital.
I think I ended up going with "Away in a Manger".

I knew that Rudolph was written by an ad man whose last name is the same as mine (no relation afaik). So I guessed Rudolph for the Christmas song based on that.
I did however give some consideration to Mr. Hankey The Christmas Poo.

Re: FJs for the 12/2/19 week
One of my worst weeks.
Luther's Theses was pretty quick for me, but the rest I was pretty clueless.
Tues: the right response is unfamiliar to me. Have no idea at all what they are talking about in either the clue or the response.
Wed: Dreaded Opera. I can get a top row clue every now and then. In FJ, I wager nothing, good wagering logic be damned. I have heard of the right opera, though.
Thurs: WAG at The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Fri: Guessed Norway. They have a royal family. Thought the Vikings might be a non-literal substitute for barbarians. Surely, there must be a movie star from Norway. Plenty of blondes. If nothing else, perhaps a tongue-in-cheek shout out (it is advertising, after all) to Elsa from the Frozen movies.
In the extras, got Trix right away, but didn't pause long enough to dope out Kix. College fight songs? Nope. Botched the retired number by thinking there were 12 payers on the field in football.

Not so wrong as it could have been. They specified the Seahawks, so we know it was the NFL. If it had been a Canadian team, your impulse would have been correct -- the CFL has 12 players on the field. Depends on which brand of football you follow more closely. There are plenty of Canadian Jeopardy fans out there (though they almost invariably know MUCH more about the U.S. than Americans know about Canada).Peter the accountant wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2019 5:00 pm Botched the retired number by thinking there were 12 payers on the field in football.
I'm not the defending Jeopardy! champion. But I have played one on TV.
