A little while ago, Lauren (who designed the fantastic covers for Feed and Deadline) emailed to ask if I might have a parody of "The Night Before Christmas" that related to dead things just, you know. Lying around. I did not. But I did have a history in filk, and access to the original poem. So fifteen or so minutes later, "I do not" became "sure!" and I was able to send Lauren a nice, zombie-filled bit of Christmas fear.
(Though I'm not sure if it counts as a crossover from the outside, necessarily. Zombies + Santa would seem to slot into the same literary (or "literary," and/or cinematic) genre that includes Pride and Prejudice and Zombies... And then there's Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, although I hear that one's pretty awful, and the poem is the polar opposite of that.)
(Now, in my fevered imagination (well the fever broke, but I've been sick 5 weeks now, so I beg forgiveness for my sense of humor), the question becomes: is the genre "just add zombies" or "just add Santa"?)

Also, that could totally count as an Advent story if you wanted it to. *grin*
