leopardus Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Hey, you left out Rudolph! (Well technically the word "Christmas" is in there once, but it is in the last verse of Frosty too.) Oh and don't forget "Let it Snow". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cousin Ricky Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 Hey, you left out Rudolph! (Well technically the word "Christmas" is in there once, but it is in the last verse of Frosty too.) I left out “Rudolph” because it is clearly about the Santa Claus story. (And I’ve never heard any verse of “Frosty” that has the word “Christmas.” I saw the Frosty TV special as a child, but Santa only showed up as a cameo in a deus ex machina ending. Lame.) Oh and don't forget "Let it Snow". How did I miss that one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owen652 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 My favourite Christmas fact is that Ding Dong Merrily on High was originally a bawdy singalong, with different words, sung by French prostitutes to lure customers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdog Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I have always liked "Deck the hall" Is about winter and decorating with winter greenery and being merry and enjoying the festive season, drinking and laughing and saying goodbye to the old and ringing in the New year. No mention of baby Jebus or Christmas. Yey! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
