The Theme
The theme will be this seasonal time of year. You may do something with the holidays (like Christmas) or perhaps wintertime and all the snow that comes with it. So it may be "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas Ev'rywhere you go" to "Here comes Santa Claus" or perhaps "Jingle Bell Rock" is more your style.
