How American am I?

So, there we were, and the occasion called for a Christmas song. And I couldn't remember a single one. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way... what comes after that? Frosty the snowman... duh da duh da duh I don't know any words after the first line.

How about good old Rudolph? I almost got all the way through... but then I got stuck at the part "And how the reindeer loved him..." Just three lines short! (In case you're wondering and your mind is drawing a blank like mine was, the last three lines are "as they shouted out with glee, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you'll go down in history!")

And so that was the day I learned I didn't know one single Christmas jingle by heart, and like everyone else, I had to go online to look up the lyrics.

Maybe I'm not so American after all?

P.S. It's been decided Meaghan is much more American than I am. She knows plenty of Christmas songs, all by heart.

  1. I don't think it's a question of being more American. I just think it shows whose heart is really filled with the spirit of Christmas.. Har har har you grinch! ;P
