On Christmas Songs

    When your work commute is approximately an hour one way you have plenty of time to listen to Christmas songs and analyze them. For example....

    Frosty the Snowman.  This is a horror movie in song form. Those children knew snow melts but they kept Frosty out there in the sun to "play" until Frosty died. They killed Frosty. Tim Burton needs to do a movie.

    Mary's Boy Child.  The lyric says "Mary's boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day."  Actually he was born on a regular old day. "Christmas" didn't come along until year 336 thanks to Emperor Constantine.

    All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth.  He wants to say "Sister Susie sitting on a thistle."  Who says that? Was that a popular saying back in olden times? Why not "Susie sells seashells by the seashore"?

    I'm sure there are plenty of other songs out there that don't make sense. I might be back with another post later.
