Have You Written Your Christmas/Chanukah Parody?

Tomorrow's the big day!  Our Christmas/Chanukah Song Lyric Contest goes live at 8:00 a.m. EST.

HERE ARE ALL THE DETAILS ONE MORE TIME.

The contest will be open for 24 hours.  After that time, comments will be closed, and the delightful Alison Weiss will read the entries and pick her favorite.

It's that simple!

Even if you're not planning on entering the contest, do stop by and enjoy the entries.  I love these opportunities for folks to branch out a little and express their creativity in a new and perhaps a bit silly way.  And honestly?  Writing lyrics isn't easy!  If this is the first time you've tried your hand at it, you know this is true.

I'm looking forward to reading your wonderful offerings tomorrow.  If you have any last-minute questions, please post them below.

  1. So, coming from the UK, I didn't realise my carol has a slightly different tune, and whilst it sort of fits, it sounds much better with the version I wrote it for...is there a way to upload a little music clip to sing along with, or do people know O little Town of Bethlehem in the uk version?!

  2. Hmm, I don't think I know that version! Is it possible to upload things in comment boxes? I'm not sure about that, either! Let me know if you learn something!

  3. @Mel: Maybe you could link to a YouTube video that has the right tune?

  4. @Authoress - when I click on the link to go to the other post, it's doing this weird redirect - I think the link got hijacked or something. Just wanted to let you know!

  5. If we do post more than one entry, should we post them in separate comments or both in one? Thanks :)
