Sounds like a good idea!
Celleighride: /sell ay ryde/ It was time for the annual Christmas Celleighride. It became evident when the carol singing slightly changed. They subtlely sang Watt Child Is This?; I’ll be ohm for Christmas;etc. Their batteries were losing power and only a celleighride to the local 7-11, the only shop open on this day, to get AA, AAA, C, D cell batteries would do. Poor Nick, he needed recharged himself, but to keep the peace, he’d make the trip and drag his exhausted self through the winter’s exhaust. Their annual celebration always became a cellebration. Joule have a Blue Christmas without them! Etymology: Cell (a device that delivers an electric current as the result of a chemical reaction) & Sleigh Ride (Popular Christmas Song and activity outdoors) Seligh also rhymes with slay (to kill something, like a battery)’ Joule (a unit of electrical energy equal to the work done when a current of one ampere passes through a resistance of one ohm for one second).
