whart57 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I'm getting addicted to the Song Title Game, so I thought a Christmas variant might be in order to take us over the festive season. Play is similar to the Song Title Game but with a Christmas slant: Enter the title or a line from a Christmas Carol or popular Christmas song using one of the words from the previous entry. To qualify a song must either mention Christmas somewhere in the lyrics or one or more characters from the Nativity. Only it must be the Mary or Joseph, not any Mary or Joseph. To make it a little more challenging you can't use the words "the", "a" or "an", "and" or "of" to make your connection. If things get stuck it is permissible to enter the next line of the carol or song to free things up after an hour or two. As this is only intended to live for a short while repeated entries earn a I'll start with the line everyone is wanting to put in: You scumbag, you maggot, You cheap, lousy Fairytale of New York OK, a bit tricky, so let's really start with the last line of the chorus: And the bells are ringing out for Christmas day Fairytale of New York Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
