Here's a game for everyone. Each post is a new line in a holiday season carol we write together. You can only write one line, then you have to let someone else write a line. Ideally, it should rhyme and be vaguely singable. Try to have a consistent meter and rhythm if you can.

I will start with the first line of our new carol:

Don we all our gay apparel

Your post can be either a line from an existing Christmas carol or an invented line.

I've changed the rules. You can write two lines, but no more before letting someone else have a turn. Your first line must rhyme with the previous line. Your second line does not need to rhyme - that is the line the next person must attempt to rhyme.

Got it?

Now, your first line must rhyme with my line,

Don we all our gay apparel

Then write a second line for the next person to rhyme.

they taste really good with eggnog

We set fire* to the yule log
flames lick on the nearby curtains


*I don't know about you, but the word "fire" has two syllables the way I say it.

Burning houses go "snap! crack! pow!"

I plan to spend Christmas with my head in the ground,
If the family don't like it, I really don't care

His beard was infested by ants
And his mouth was full of worms

Poor Herman! Worse was yet to come

I heard him bellow in pain
