INTRODUCTION: Every year come Christmastime, as I sang in the junior choir at St. Stephen's Church, the alternate verses to "Deck the Halls" intrigued me.  Introduction: The assortment of ghosts, witches, and various pranksters are gathered here for a common purpose: to scare the wits out of us - deliciously; to make us shiver and shriek; and, above all, to delight us. | |
