The Most Wonderful Time

"....There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow 
There'll be scary ghost stories 
And tales of the glories of 
Christmases long, long ago...."


Wait did he say ghost stories? Yes.... "there'll be scary ghost stories", right there it says it. Who is telling ghost stories on Christmas?! And what could possibly be labeled as a Christmas time ghost story?


".... and when she checked her stocking in the morning, all that was in it was a severed head with words carved into it's forehead..... 'Ho, ho, ho.' Well goodnight!"


Isn't Christmas about happy times? Aren't the only ghosts involved here to tell us to be nicer to Tiny Tim? A part of me thinks that if we aren't telling ghost stories, and Andy Williams thinks we should, we might as well start. He seems like a pretty smart guy.

Im pretty confused on the subject already.

I've got it! "Christmases long long ago."? He must be from the future! The future that contains an evil robot santa who thinks everyone is naughty, and now he just sings about past Christmases to cope with the new crappy one. It all makes sense now.
