The "I don't think you meant to sing about that..." Christmas Carol Meme


warning: this meme will have some selections that refer to violence, sex, and consent issues within it.
please be careful when making your song selections.


With Christmas music flooding into your life at every corner, from every overhead speaker system, from radio stations, and your own family members you've begun to realize some of these songs aren't as festive as you once thought they were. Use these "misunderstood" Christmas Songs to make the Holiday Season extra festive!


Guidelines:
1. Comment with your character! Blank comments, preferences, you choose the song in advance -- all are welcome!
2. Tag around or wait around to be tagged!
3. That's... it. It's the holidays, instructions shouldn't be difficult.



I'm sure it sounded better in your head...

01. Baby, It's Cold Outside - Convince your partner to stay the night. Feel free to use alcohol and weather conditions.
• [full lyrics] - "I really can't stay..." "Say... what's in this drink?"

02. All I Want for Christmas Is You - Kidnapping could be a fun way to show someone you want to spend the holiday with them. Make sure they know it's just because standard gifts just won't satisfy your need for THEM.
• [full lyrics] - "Santa Claus won't make me happy, With a toy on Christmas day. I just want you for my own, More than you could ever know."

03. Last Christmas - Your love has broken you heart or you just watched them give your heart to someone else. Maybe it'll go better next year... or with this next person that walks up to you, since you seem to have plenty of hearts to give out each year.
• [full lyrics] - " I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice" "I've got you here to stay, I can love you for a day"


Music to Murder to...

04. Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer - You didn't see her in the road did you... well, now she's dead and it's your fault. Maybe, you just watched this person kill someone else. The holidays are a time to bring people together.
• [full lyrics] - "She'd been drinkin' too much egg nog, and we'd begged her not to go."

05. Christmas Eve Can Kill You - All you wanted was a ride to visit family. Now you've been picked up by the wrong kind of helpful stranger. You should've listened to your parents.
• [full lyrics] - "And Christmas Eve can kill you, when you're trying to hitch a ride to anywhere."

06. You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch - They are the worst and rather than just let the holiday be filled with tolerance and love, it's time to let this person know just how you feel about them.
• [full lyrics] - "You're a monster, Mr. Grinch. Your heart's an empty hole."


Too Much of a Good Thing...

07. 12 Days of Christmas - I think... you spent more than $20 on me this year. (What am I gonna do with 184 birds?) This is a time to give someone that special gift you've been waiting to give them. Just don't overdo it.
• [full lyrics] - "On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me six geese a-laying..."

08. Jingle Bell Rock - Time to dance! Or... do something with a lot of energy and repetition!
• [full lyrics] "That's the jingle bell, that's the jingle bell, that's the jingle bell..."


Actually, this could be a nice thing...

09. Winter Wonderland - Snow! Snow everywhere! Possibly too much snow or just enough snow, but it's SNOW! Oh, don't mind the possible extramarital affair.
• [full lyrics] He'll say, "Are you married?" We'll say, "No man" But you can do the job, when you're in town!

10. I'll Be Home for Christmas - It's been so long since you've been home, but now you're here for the holiday. (or are you?)
• [full lyrics] - "Please have snow and mistletoe" "I'll be home for Christmas, If only in my dreams"

BONUS: 11 - Pick your own song! Just toss up a lyric or a link to the lyrics and just make it what you want. It's almost the weekend and this should be fun!

The snow falling outside was beginning to stick. He'd watched the girl for a while, considering her. When he saw her making for the door, he made his move, coming up beside her.

"You really should wait. The snow fall's picking up. Give it a few and I'm sure it'll clear," he offered with a small smile.

[Assumptions made in this set up: Klaus didn't make it back into his body. Bonnie wouldn't do it and someone snapped Tyler's neck or something to keep him from ripping out his own heart. He calmed down a little after that. Sort of.

Somewhere through the grapevine, Katherine may have caught word that Klaus, though not dead, had found himself some very attractive new packaging. Very attractive, very fallible new packaging. While everyone else may care about Tyler, her?

Not so much.

She gets back to Mystic Falls, luckily, before Bonnie has managed to make things worse and fix what she broke. It doesn't take her long to make her way back to the Lockwood mansion and let herself in -- the value of being invited in places, and stalks quietly through the house until she finds him.]

I think this look almost suits you.

[It's not like Stiles had intended to end up back at the gay bar - and surrounded by drag queens because they have, apparently, adopted him - but it's just about the one place he can get in to without having to show his ID. It'd been a pretty okay place last time, y'know, without the paralysis and death. He'd been sort of enjoying himself.

He's had a few drinks too, and been cajoled into dancing, which is more like flailing awkwardly. Because Stiles? Not so much of a dancer. But he just can't say no to a- uh. Lady.]

It had started out of nowhere. A heavy wind that was pitching around bits of frozen rain and the first fall of snowflake flurries. It might be the last as well. They'd ducked within the nearest open door he could find - okay so he'd opened it with a heavy shove of his shoulder but still it was open, right? - and now they found themselves waiting to see if it would break so he could get her home.

His hand brushed hers. "Give me your hands. They're just like ice."

The night was getting longer and the snow outside was gleaming beneath the street lamps. The scent of coffee was thick around them, a delicious scent. At least to Peter. Near the door, he arched a brow as a woman moved for the door.

He shifted slightly, sliding his foot almost in her way. "Baby it's cold outside."

11 - Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

[thelivinglegend]

Christmas Eve had been a busy thing. After going in costume to those children's wards (and convincing Tony to go with him to a handful before he really got in the partying mood) he'd hopped a quick flight to D.C. to drop in on his...lover? Boyfriend? He's not sure what the current term for it would be, and those whom he's introduced the other to don't need to ask what the deal with them is.

In lieu of alcohol, Steve made a point of bringing over a few bottles of sparkling something-or-other. Cider, he thinks one of them is? Definitely non-alcoholic, which is just as well. He doesn't drink and TJ's on the wagon anyway. He'd just gotten around to carefully pouring them both a glass when he realized TJ had disappeared from line of sight, and he isn't precisely sure where he's gotten to. Well, it's not as though the apartment is that big. As music drifts from the radio he pokes his head around the corner in search of him, eyes going first to the piano set up in the corner.

He hadn't meant for things to move closer to the heart of town. Maybe he should have assumed with that many years she might have a few tricks up her sleeve. Just because she looked like someone's favorite grandma with blue tinged hair and an apple doll face, he'd let her get past his radar. He wasn't going to let her go now though. Not knowing she had killed at least three people in this week before Christmas.

The SUV skid as he turned onto another dark street. The front bumper barely clipped her, sending the wrinkled old body flying. It hit a wall with a hard thump, crumpling on the sidewalk.

Out of the car before it even came to a full stop, Chris rushed forward with crossbow in hand as he approached the body.

[Steve went a little overboard with the gifts, which is why on Christmas morning there's a wall of presents around the tree. For the first time in his life Steve has money to buy all the things that made him think of Phil.

Steve's pretty pleased with himself.]

06; like I could ever pass that one up

[reluctantrobin]

[Stiles was supposed to be at a Christmas party right about now. He distinctly remembered making a point of finishing all of his homework so he could go. Which absolutely did not explain why he was still stuck in his room, pouring over textbooks, with Derek sat at the end of his bed staring at him. Like he did. All the damn time.

Because of course there was some kind of something that went bump in the night loose around town. And only Stiles could work out what it was. Of course.

He hardly noticed what he was humming until it was too late to stop it.]

[He must have been really drunk. Really, really drunk. Because why else would he be getting a lift back to Mystic Falls from Klaus of all people? Actually, case in point, he couldn't even remember how it'd happened. He knew he had to get out of town for some reason — something to do with Elena. It always had something to do with Elena. Then, there was a bar. And then... eggnog? What? Okay, backtrack. Right. It was eggnog mixed with vodka. Everything made sense again. Kind of.]

Did Stefan tell you to come pick me up? Because I'd told him your taxi service was bad business. [God, he could feel his head pounding. Like he'd been carelessly thrown around for a couple of hours. And, given the fact that he was in the back of a van (he was pretty sure it was a van), he wasn't all that surprised to the why.] You don't even own a taxi, for starters.

One quiet holiday! Is that really too much to ask?

[To say Max is annoyed? Understatement. She just wanted to have a quiet little dinner with her friends, but what happens? Some kind of creepy alien crawling out of the sewers that's what happens.

But the transgenics are prepared for stuff like this. They get their guns and form their patrols, and they're taking the alien freaks out. That doesn't mean that Max can't complain while she does it.

Whenever the government wants to show up and do their job so that Max can go home to her turkey dinner, that would be awesome.]

[He's well-aware of their choice of 'no gifts' and he can respect that, but honestly, does she think that he'll follow that? Insert some head-shaking here, because nope, he did not follow that. He's big on do what I say, not as I do, apparently. Regardless, he's just set the gift under their tree and the tag, for the record, says that it's from Santa. Not from him. He's still safe.]

That was it. Emma was done. Completely and utterly done. Done with dealing with children. She was done with trying to be the grown up when surrounded by psychos and crazies. Not that she was doing much better in the sane department in that moment. Staring at the tree, eyes narrowed to mere slits.

"How toxic would it be for, well me, if I torched it ornaments and all?" Growling the words to no one in particular though she does have a small silver lighter in her hand, considering it.
