I'm only backing this if this is at vote in the month of December. November is too early for Christmas carols.

Alger, this goes to vote late November after Thanksgiving, assuming the two SC resolutions regarding your region makes quorum. I left a bit of time in case I need to pull off and re-queue for an emergency SC resolution.

I can't decide if I want to vote for this because I think there should be room for more lighthearted stuff in the SC on occasion, or against because Christmas music is my least favorite genre of music, with the song this proposal references being one of the worst songs I've ever been forced to listen to for two months straight while working at McDonald's.

Against, there is no use of punctuation in the body of the text and I don't think we should pass a resolution that is just a reskinned RL song. Also echoing Slab's "not everyone celebrates Christmas...", because this one certainly does not.

The punctuation is very specifically used to indicate singing instructions, it's kinda deliberate.

If you do end up resubmitting it I recommend working on the rhymes more because... half of it doesn't rhyme. Also the syllable count doesn't work for trying to sing it along to the original song. I'm supporting it because the SC is too stuffy, but as a parody song it needs work.
