Christmas Eve carol singing: Cracking the code

[ganainm]

The three of us (Nita, Tom, and me) finally figured out how to sing "The Twelve Days of Christmas" without dying of ennui:

1. Any singer may insert "Five gold rings" at any time.

2. When this happens, all must join in, including the accompanist(s).

3. After completing "Five gold rings," singers pick up where they left off.

Tom upped the ante by inserting a rendition of "Trogdor was a man" just before the twelfth verse. I think we'll keep this one.

"If you know what's going to happen, it's not really music."
