Twelve Days of Christmas... Games, Part III: Pictograms

And we can return to the games, now that (Z) is (mostly) recovered. We're going to start running answers next week, so anyone who wants to do any particular game has plenty of time to give it the old college try.

Today's game is pictograms. Each of the 12 images below communicates a well-known two-or-more-word phrase of some sort. And each of the 12 phrases includes some word that is associated, in one way or another, with chilly temperatures. Remember, we said that we would not limit ourselves to ONLY Christmas-related content here.

Here is an example:

It shows Melania and Donald Trump getting married, and notes she was 28 and he was 52

That's a pretty big age difference, which makes theirs a May-December romance (assuming you believe there WAS any romance). December, of course, is one of the coldest months of the year, so it's the "chilly temperatures" word in this particular phrase.

And now, the dozen pictograms that actually make up the game:

Number 1:

A picture of an iceberg, with
an arrow indicating the very top of the iceberg



Number 2:

A lake of fire with
people writhing; above that a ball of snow; above that the phrase 'less than .00000000001%'



Number 3:

A very small goat with
Michael Jackson gloves on his front hooves



Number 4:

A turkey, shivering,
with icicles hanging from him, standing on top of a block of ice



Number 5:

A cemetery, with many
graves, buried in snow



Number 6:

A man walking through a 
door with an exit sign; a cloud appears to be blowing air in his direction



Number 7:

A picture of Mary Todd
Lincoln, with what appears to be some sort of meteor shower



Number 8:

A football player in a
green and white uniform, wearing #12, with ski boots and skis on his feet



Number 9:

A bucket of ice with 
a brain perched on top of the ice



Number 10:

Stephen Miller, a snow
bank, and the 'male' symbol



Number 11:

Sen. Patty Murray,
but her bottom half is dripping away



Number 12:

An iceberg and very cold
lake in the background, the rock band the Monkees in the foreground
