The thing that I love about the holidays are the songs that are played on the radio. All the Christmas classics that make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside - best time of the year!
It wasn't until recently while visiting my parents, however, that I realized I actually don’t know any holiday songs all the way through.
I started singing the song “Have a Holly Jolly Christmas” while making breakfast. As I start flipping my pancakes, the lyrics come out of my mouth in this way: “Have a holly jolly Christmas! It’s the best time of the year…..mmmmm mmm mm mmmm mmm mmmmmmmmmmmm mmm. HA~AVE a holly jolly Christmas!” And then the cycle repeats.
4 times.
My mom, after listening in the corner for a while, suddenly asks, “Do you actually know the rest of the lyrics to that song?”
And the sad thing is, there are many other holiday songs that I don’t know all the way through, like:
- “I’m dreaming of a White Christmas, just like the ones I used to know…..” and then what?
- “Oh the weather outside is frightful and the fire is so delightful/ and since we’ve no place to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! ….” and then what?
- “Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin’? in the lane snow is glistenin’! …..” and then what??
- “It’s the most wonderful time of the year!!!…” yeah, I don’t know how the rest goes
- “I’ll be home for Christmas…” that’s all I got
Am I crazy? I can’t be the only one who only memorizes a few lines in holiday songs, right? Let me know if you actually know the complete lyrics of a holiday song!
