Hi.

Welcome to This Awful/Awesome Life! My name is Frances Joyce. I am the publisher and editor of this magazine. We'll be exploring different topics each month to inform, entertain and inspire you. Meet new authors, sharpen your brain and pick up a few tips on life, love, entertaining and business. Enjoy and please share!

The December 2025 Rebus Puzzles Quiz

It’s time for another Rebus Puzzle Quiz. Our readers seem to like them, and they are a real challenge to do unless you are a skilled graphic designer, which we all know, I am not.

The purpose of our monthly quizzes is to entertain, inform, and fire up some neurons in your brain.

Preventing or slowing cognitive decline should be on everyone’s mind, and it’s never too early to get in the habit of doing puzzles, wood searches, quizzes, and memory or trivia games.

Sometimes we just need to unplug, de-stress, and take care of ourselves. Take care of your mind by tackling a crossword puzzle and learning a new word or two. Try to figure out a Rebus puzzle or find the degrees of separation between two people. Take a quiz about something you know nothing about, and I guarantee you will learn something you won’t soon forget.

I will give you the number of words in each answer. The letters and pictures have + or – signs after them, so you know how they connect. A white space separates each word in the phrase. Good luck and have fun!

Answers can be found in the last article of this issue, “Next Month in This Awful Awesome Life – January 2026.
