Frog in the Middle.
One child sits in the middle, the others dance around singing,
‘Frog in the middle, you can’t catch me! Frog in the middle, you can’t catch me!
Frog has to catch them whilst still sitting down.
Kate Greenaway’s Book of Games

Scrooge.
‘Every idiot who goes about with ‘Merry Christmas’ on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.’
from Dickens’ A Christmas Carol

This tale is well travelled it’s told in #Cornwall and Aberdeen!
