Gordi - forgive my ignorance - "must contain specific reference to 'the Scariest Christmas Carol'"
Does it just need to contain those words, or is "The Scariest Christmas Carol" actually a thing - like an actual book, movie, or, I dunno, a carol?

As far as I know... it's not a specific thing or book shep.
So, let your imagination run wild.... and create the Scariest one in your head... then include it (or refer to it) in your story!

Ah a return to writing contests with our FSME.

Wonderful stuff

This should be interesting. I look forward to seeing what people come up with.
