Words That Rhyme With Christmas

Christmas has one perfect rhyme, isthmus, which few writers want. The stressed syllable is Christ-, with a short I, and the unstressed -mas is what makes rhyming hard; the near rhymes the page lists keep the I and the final S, business and agribusiness. Carol writers mostly rhyme the first syllable and let the ending go, with slant rhymes like whispers, listens, sisters, whistles and blisters, or litmus for the -mus sound.
