Christmas, I Have Questions

What about Grandma and that reindeer?

After ripping through all the wrapping paper and finishing your Figgy Pudding (whatever that is), I’m sure you’ll be ready for a long winter’s nap. Every year I have a few Christmas questions. Perhaps you could help answer them.

🎄Who taught the “Peanuts” kids how to dance?

🎄Should “Baby It’s Cold Outside” be retired because of obvious #MeToo implications?

🎄Same question for “Love Actually” — Does it have the same Creeper Quotient?

🎄Do you avoid the “Christmas Shoes” song as much as I do (I’ve only heard three syllables of it this season — changed the station immediately)?

🎄How many versions of “Rockin Around the Christmas Tree are there?

🎄Also, how does one “rock” around a Christmas Tree, other than very carefully?

🎄Is “Frosty the Snowman” a sad or happy song? Think about it.
