This is a Special preview for the CPC Friday Fling poetry challenge.  Poems should be posted there beginning when the challenge opens Thursday evening at 9 PM EST.

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!
