What is parody? According to Sarah Ellis in The Young Writer's Companion (a wonderful book), parody is "A humorous, exaggerated imitation of a poem, song, character, or writing style."
Other holiday parodies?
"Jingle bells, Santa smells, ninety miles away...."
OR
"Joy to the world, the school burned down."
Can you come up with other holiday parodies? Think of your favorite (or least favorite) holiday song or poem, and give it a try:
"Rudolph, the snot-nosed reindeer, had a gooey, gobby nose...."
"Frosty the jail man, had a big, big set of keys...."
Have fun poking gentle fun at the songs we hear over and over at this time of year. Who knows? Your parody may become the next big hit!
