Since we’re all going to be hearing Christmas music for the next few weeks, Jimmy Fallon has a favor to ask.

The “Tonight Show” host called on his Twitter followers Monday to ruin a holiday song by adding just one word to the title ― and tag the result #AddAWordRuinAChristmasSong.

It might have been, to paraphrase one popular Christmas song, the most wonderful post of the year based on the responses it inspired.
