Friday Fling #211 for December\u00a0 21st 2012<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

One of our favorite Christmas tapes – ok so those are obsolete now but they weren’t when this one was first issued – is called “Twisted Christmas.” \u00a0It’s a collection of Christmas song rewrites with funny lyrics. <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

Recalling that got us thinking about tongue-twisters, which we’ve done on the Fling before.\u00a0 Combining the two thoughts, we came up with Christmas tongue-twisters. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

So our challenge to you this week is to <\/font>write a poem about Christmas and the holiday period which includes at least one tongue-twisting phrase or line<\/font>.\u00a0 It could be alliterative like the famous “Peter Piper picked a peck of picked peppers,” or one where words hard to say together are put together like the famous “she sells sea shells by the sea shore.”\u00a0 But any way you come up with a tongue-twister while staying on a holidaytime subject is fine.<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

This week the Friday Fling twists your tongue in writes about Christmastime!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Be sure to save time to read and comment contortionately on your fellow Pals’ tongue-twisting Christmas tales.\u00a0 Then go enjoy an untwisted final pre-Christmas weekend!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Fickle Finger of Fate Award for December 14th<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Congratulations Diane!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
