From her preschool days, my daughter liked to change the rules of board games to create new games. These last few weeks, she has been, instead, creating new words to typical holiday songs. Intrigued with her creativity, I gave it a try myself, something that I tried last year, with “Twas the weekend before finals.” I am not as good at this as my daughter is, but here are the results of my efforts for 2015.
