I'm just surprised it's still so popular! :P Now I just shake my head whenever it comes on the radio.<br /><br />@Unknown Exactly! I totally agree.<br /><br />@Carly Oh my gosh, I have friends who used to be terrified of Santa as a kid. xD I guess in some way it could be kind of creepy depending on how you think about it.

I love this analysis. Your commentary is...YESSSSSS. I love this analysis. Your commentary is 100% correct. I've always found Chrsitmas a little creepishly weird at times. Especially the idea of Santa, but that's another subject in itself. XD My favorite Christmas song has to be "Last Christmas." It brings back so many good memories for me.Carlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10522064884938295650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-739533234250181729.post-81314135978958140252016-01-01T01:53:17.756-05:002016-01-01T01:53:17.756-05:00I was just thinking this Christmas season that it ...I was just thinking this Christmas season that it has a really creepy angle to it, depending on how you interpret the character motivations and intentions. Especially since the guy is trying to ply her with (extra strong) alcohol, which has particularly bad connotations, as you noted.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16553768382497204304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-739533234250181729.post-3454018896836859092015-12-18T19:15:42.347-05:002015-12-18T19:15:42.347-05:00I like your commentary - and it's so accurate!...I like your commentary - and it's so accurate! :-P At the time this song was written, it wasn't considered inappropriate or creepy, but rather just cute - but our social customs have since changed (or at least, they should have changed by now). This isn't my least favorite Christmas song of all time, but I never listen to it voluntarily (even the Idina Menzel version, and I'm a huge fan of hers). :-PAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08624677696579064512noreply@blogger.com
