Okay, here's the two phrases, both overheard from passing conversations (not that the conversations were passing, just that I was going one way and the people who were talking were going the other way):

"... ballet in the ring..."

"... Christmas socks..."

Now, you should feel free to take liberty with the ballet, and consider various kinds of rings.  For example, the ballet may be a metaphor for smooth movement, while the ring could be a circus ring, a boxing ring, the chiming of a bell, or even a group of people cooperating to accomplish something, like the ring of writers.  Or I guess it could be one ring to rule them all...

As for those socks, I'll let you decide whether there are coals or candy inside!

In any case, let these two phrases inspire you to write.
