Christmas Carols and Bacon: a new tradition

Aren't Jules's ornaments awesome?
Aren’t Jules’s ornaments awesome?

Earlier this week, funny blogger Go Jules Go showed us her homemade, bacon-inspired Christmas tree ornaments.

This got me thinking, which is a dangerous pursuit the week before Christmas.

We really need to rewrite some Christmas carols in honour of bacon.

***

I’ll start:

Deck the halls with pounds of bacon…

Joy to the Bacon

Silent Night, Sizzling Bacon

Now, I turn it over to you, my funny readers. Go have some fun in the comments. Add “bacon” to other Christmas carols. Be the Bacon-ator.

    “Santa, Bacon” would be a bacon remake of one of my favorites! I love “Deck the halls with pounds of bacon!” 🙂

    Oooh. I love seeing that picture with the snow falling over it! Thanks for the sizzling shout-out, LeAnne!

    And I know this isn’t a Christmas carol, but it’s the first thing that popped into mind: “Ain’t Nobody Got Time for Fat” and then the part where Sweet Brown says, “Smells like someone was bar-be-cuein’!” you add, “BACON!”

    No? Is no one else hearing this?

    Love the idea… because I love bacon. How about “All I Want For Christmas is Bacon”?

      I thought of that FIRST, but didn’t get around to commenting. Somebody’s been reading my thought waves again – clearly a HIPAA violation.

    You and Jules are nuts!

    Have yourself a juicy piece of bacon
    Grandma had a heart attack from a piece of bacon
    Its beginning to smell a lot like bacon….everywhere you go

      I don’t know the Christmas carol “You and Jules are nuts” but I think I would like it.

        I have it on repeat. There’s a breakdown with chipmunks towards the end that’ll blow your mind. (You know…cause I love chipmunks…and they love nuts…)

    ♪ “On the first day of Christmas, my piggy gave to me, bacon that was yummy!” ♪

    ♪ “Hark the bacon angels sing,”♪ (what beautiful noise they would make)

    ♪ “I saw Mommy licking bacon strips….” ♪

      I am envious of your eighth notes. How did you make those?

      And I *love* the last one. I guffawed.

        Thanks Leanne! 😉

        As far as the notes go, hold down the ALT key, and while pressing the ALT, type 1 3 on the keypad (needs to be the keypad).

    Bacon is ridculously popular right now, which is ironic (like how i worked your namesake in there?) considering the experts have predicted a bacon shortage will occur next year…
    Great new holiday tradition, Leanne!

    Let’s not exclude another major religion also celebrating an important holiday at this time of year. How about “Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah – With Ba-a-a-con!”.

    OK, what’s wrong? What’d I say? What?

    This has made me giggle….. how about the 12 Days of Bacon (or at least pork related products).

    5 pigs in blankets
    4 streaky rashers
    3 pork chops
    2 bacon butties
    and a pork scratching in a pear tree!

    If I ever stop laughing about all of these, I may try a few verses myself. *wiping tears*
    May I respectfully add:

    Rockin’ Around The Bacon Pan

    We Wish You Some Crispy Bacon
