In the middle of this song the singer says "there'll be scary ghost stories..."

Is this a thing some people do at Christmas? Or is it just words to rhyme in a song?

It seems each Christmas season I'll find myself liking a song more then usual and it'll be one I've heard all my life. Last year, it was this song and I found myself singing it all the time and that lyric always stood out to me as well.

I looked it up too and it made reference to the ghosts of Christmas as well as the Winter Solstice. Lots of pagen beliefs went along side Christian ones at Christmas. I still love the song.

In the past it was fairly common to share ghost stories around Christmas time.

If Rudolph is the most famous reindeer of all, then why does the song list all the others and then ask us if we recall him?

He's so famous, he's infamous

The song is obviously a pagan attempt to divert from the advent of Christ. It isn't wonderful: it's cold and icy and winter cannot be over fast enough.

The start of football season is the most wonderful time of the year. It's all downhill from there.
