Stinky holidays

[mrissa]

In line at the PO today, I heard a four-year-old singing the following carol:
"Jingle bells, an'mals smell, Je-e-sus was born.
A ghost pulled down his underpants and laid a robin's e-egg.
Jingle bells, Jesus smells--"
And that, for some reason, was where his momma distracted him.

I was really curious about where the theology was going on that one.

Last year my daughter L (age three at the time) learned Jingle Bells. (Drat those preschool teachers!)

But she didn't learn it quite right--she insisted, no matter how many times I tried to correct her on the matter (or at least on the scansion!), that the line was "oh what fun it is to ride on a one-slashing sleigh." I kept imagining Freddy Kreuger at the reins.
