Personally,
I feel that I’m filled
with more than my quota
of Christmas Spirit, but
Jimmy, what were you thinking when
you wrote that second verse of
Jingle Bells?
What the hell is this ‘upsot’?
And Fanny Bright? Really? C’mon, really?
You gotta be kiddin’.
Sounds more like
a case of
Christmas spirits
to me!
Historical Note: The author and composer of Jingle Bells was James Lord Pierpoint of Boston, who composed the song in 1857 for children celebrating his Sunday School Thanksgiving. The song was so popular that it was repeated at Christmas, and indeed Jingle Bells has been reprised ever since.
