You post one verse of a well-known Christmas carol or song. The next person picks a keyword from the lines you have posted (it can be any word from any line of that verse), and posts their own verse from another carol/song which contains that word. And so it goes. --- Christmas time, mistletoe and wine Children singing Christian rhyme With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree A time to rejoice in the good that we see.
