Here's a game for the festive season.
The OP starts with one or two lines from a Christmas carol or well-known Christmas song. The next poster has to take one word from those lines and then post a new line (or two) from another carol that contains that word. The third poster then follows the same course of action as the second. And so on. If you can. ![[Devil]](graemlins/devil.gif)
No whole verses, please, that would make it too easy - just one or two lines max. Here we go:

Is Rudolph well-known? Is it about Christmas? It's not as if I'm asking you to sing it in church on Christmas Eve.

Jesus, cradled in a manger,
For us facing every danger,
Living as a homeless stranger,
Make we thee our king most dear.
