The Friday Fling Fetes Favorite Christmas Music!
Friday Fling #159 December 16th 2011
As many classical music and most Peanuts fans know, December 16th is Beethoven’s birthday. That made us wonder: what is your favorite Christmas music?
You can poetically express your preference(s) in one of two ways: (1) use the title of at least one of your favorites in a poem, or (2) rewrite the lyrics.
No particular format is suggested this week, unless you choose to do a lyric rewrite, in which case of course the format is dictated by the original song.
This week the Friday Fling has a Christmas party tribute to our favorite Christmas song(s)!
Be sure to save time to read and comment lyrically on your fellow Pals’ tributes. Then go enjoy some Christmas music this weekend!
Fickle Finger of Fate Award for December 9th
Congratulations Barbara!

Welcome everyone to the Friday Fling’s Christmas music party! Pull up a song title and insert it in a poem of your own creation! Or pick a tune and rewrite the lyrics to better suit yourself! Let the poetic caroling begin!
When Jolly Old Saint Nicholas
Accidentally landed his sleigh
on the Jingle Bell Rock,
the sleigh’s Jingle Bells
rang out “Joy To The World!”
OK it doesn’t rhyme. But it does include all four of the titles above which start with J, and it sort of makes sense! And what the heck, it’s fun!
NB: Michelle is here but she keeps getting logged out when she tries to come to this blog, so it may be awhile before she can comment.
I wrote this at a past Friday Fling and it has the song title “Silent Night” in the poem
This is by Sonnet Diva! Thank you Lori!!!
BY SONNET DIVA!
This is a Villanelle I wrote a few years ago using song titles in the poem
Another very creative poem by my friend, Sonnet Diva!
By Sonnet Diva…. thank you so much Lori for sharing your poetic songs with us!
Santa Flex is Coming To Town
You better get busy and write
Now don’t blame your Muse
Better not pout or begin to fight
He won’t be amused
Santa Flex is coming to town
He’s making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who’s naughty and nice
Santa Flex is coming to town
He sees us when we’re sleeping
He knows when we’re awake
He knows if you’ve been bad or good
So you better write for goodness sake!
O! You better get busy and write !
Now don’t blame your Muse
Better not pout or begin to fight
He won’t be amused
Santa Flex is coming to town
Santa Flex is coming to town
Here is a rewrite that I wrote a few years ago to the Twelve Days of Christmas.. it was just all in fun.. LOLOL :entertained: 😆
you might have to click on the image to see it enlarged
WOW….Everyone singing their heart out here……
Crazy week…. last day of school tomorrow…..
Checking in to say HELLO….. :love: :love: :love:
A Christmas to remember.
A blue lit up Christmas tree lays in front of me.
Frosty the snowman is playing a tune.
I’m putting on my new jingle rock perfume.
Soon my ex husband says marry Christmas darling.
I say good morning Santa baby, how are you.
Anit this the most wonderful time of the year.
And so much Christmas cheer.
I hear Santa on the roof top he forgot my gift this year.
My baby turns to me and says all I want for Christmas is you my dear.
I fall in his arms so true.
We kiss near the blue Christmas tree.
We are filled with so much glee.
Suddenly we hear a crash , grammas got ran over by a reindeer .
Do you hear what I hear.
No gramma for me to see this year.
How it brought on the Christmas tears.
Laid in the snow was my Barbie she bought me every year.
Bells will be ring a sad song this year.
Hi Michelle and Bob! Wonderful blog and writes with kudos left for all. A quick rewrite to Jingle Bells! 😆 :love:

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS AGAIN
Every year right around this time
I return to that place
so often hidden away,
that place where magic happens
in sometimes surprising ways;
that place where I find harmony
and sweet connections;
where I find no strings
or hidden agendas.
I return to that place,
as alive now as then.
It’s HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS
for me once again.
I return to that place
of poignant tears
and laughter and smiles,
that place of joy
where holiday magic lives,
good will toward men,
peace and joy within hearts
as I head HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS,
spending time around the tree
with those I cherish
not just on Christmas
or the holidays,
but on each
and every day.
So I’LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS,
as I am each and every year,
a child of the dawn
with stars in her eyes
on Christmas morn;
who sings with the shepherds
and the angels gathered there
joins in with THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY
as he plays upon his drum.
And as we gather around
the tree again this year,
we remember once more
what Christmas is all about,
and wish JOY TO THE WORLD
and pray for peace everywhere
as we hear once more
the BELLS ON CHRISTMAS DAY.
