For Crystol Woods' Christmas Song Parodies Poetry Contest

Here is the tune of the first song I parodied called "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas. I taught my students a simple choreography for us to sing and dance with the song from Dec. 16, 2019. Hope the link stays up. Often my FB links eventually disappear: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/W2Pe3ZUQahzn8QFR/

Let’s Eat Something New This Christmas (Parody of Have a Holly Jolly Christmas) I can make some spicy tacos better than the ones down south. Please though know to eat them slow or they may burn your mouth. Try my sauciest lasagna better than a Christmas ham. Cheese galore – I like that more than even roasted lamb. Some get hung up on foods so traditional. My foods you cannot call repetitional. For dessert, there’s tiramisu. I’m so sick of pumpkin pie. Cookies crumble so I grumble: why not new foods to try? Christmas Balls, (Parody of Jingle Bells) Christmas balls, Christmas balls on my Christmas tree. I’ve got a cat that’s such a rat beneath the tree he’ll pee -ee. Christmas balls, Christmas balls, flying through the air. When both cats get hold of them, they scatter everywhere. One night I took a pause because I’d heard a crash. Hoped it might be Claus bringing me some cash. I saw my big dog’s face. She looked up guiltily. To those darn cats she’d given chase destroying our tree! Oh! Repeat refrain: Christmas balls, Christmas balls on my Christmas tree. I’ve got a cat that’s such a rat beneath the tree he’ll pee -ee. Christmas balls, Christmas balls, flying through the air. When both cats get hold of them, they scatter everywhere. Two oldies: I Heard Mother (to tune of "I Saw Mother Kissing Santa Clause")   I heard Mother scolding Santa's elf  As I prowled the house on Christmas Eve.  He'd hid in St. Nick's sleigh And then sneaked out to play  After having waited for his boss to fly away.  Mother caught him gobbling all our snacks  After he tore open every gift. Oh, when she glared down at his face,  He went scrambling from our place  Screaming, "Santa, stop the sleigh-  I need a lift!" New Body Parody of the Xmas Song: White Christmas   I'm dreaming of a new body  with every chocolate I unwrap.  But I can't stop eating, I can't stop cheating.   There's just too many Christmas snacks.  My nightmare is a pot belly -with every Christmas treat I take.  But I can't stop feasting, my size increasing;  when I stand on the scales they'll break.  Yes, I'm dreaming of a trim waistline, so take that Chex mix from my face.  May my buns be smaller and flat,   and may all my body lose its fat! (I no longer make Chex Mix. It’s just too tempting)

Great parodies! I especially liked and agree with your first one. lasagna and tiramisu - a perfect Christmas combo, and the last one. I'm still coming down from my New Year's Eve eating debacle.

My stomach churns with the smell of chocolate. Though I would prefer mince pies. Oh well, must not risk another coma through glucose overdose. Hugs.

- Both funny and skillfully written, Andrea :) - Christmas is a time for traditions, – a time of year when many people would rather everything be just like before - I know many disagree with me, but I think we might benefit from trying some small changes every now and then, also during Christmas - Christmas dinner won't be ruined if you let loose with some new side dish or a different dessert :) - GL in the contest :) - hugs

I had hoped to show the tune of the first one with a video of me dancing with my students, but I can't locate it on FB. Darn it.
