I thought that was hilarious when I was 8. I still think it is kind of funny, clever at least.
So my name is Holly. It is Christmas Time. The amount of times I hear my name has grown exponentially.
One day. I believe it was Christmas Eve. A man said "Holly, that is a festive name."
I wanted to say. "I changed it just for the season. normally it is Gertrude."
DISCLAIMER FOR LACK OF CHRISTMAS SPIRIT: I was just in a wreck in Provo and had to wait around for hours when I was flying home to GA that day. I was stressed.
The other day, i thought i heard someone say my name. I turned around just in time to hear "Fa la la la la, la la la la."
This got me thinking. How many Christmas songs am I part of?
Well we have:
"Deck the halls with boughs of Holly." This song always got some interesting comments about how i could be decor. they were always much appreciated. i do like the fa la la la las. though.
I also like the Holly and the Ivy. I think I like it because it is lesser known. A treasure when you hear it if you will.
"Haul out the holly"..from we need a little Christmas. Not necessarily my favorite. Sounds like i have eaten too many Christmas sweets. Plus who likes to be hauled anywhere?
"You will get a sentimental feeling When you hear voices singing "Let's be jolly; Deck the halls with boughs of holly"...and I do.
"But the prettiest sight to see is the Holly that will be on your own front door. " One of my personal favorites. I took the liberty of capitalizing Holly.
"Pine cones and Holly Berries" from Pine Cones and Holly Berries. I didn't know this song existed.

"Oh by gosh, by golly, it's time for mistletoe and holly" I love this one. it is fun. also kinda implies that someone is wanting me and mistletoe. just saying. I like it best when sung by Frank Sinatra.

lastly (well i'm sure there are more but i think this is a little out of control already) is Holly Jolly Christmas.
who honestly can say they don't like this song? maybe the grinch (pre-heart expansion of course, i'm sure he is a fan now.)
Anyway. I think "have a holly jolly Christmas" takes the cake. (my nickname was once holly jolly, and i am on strict orders to marry someone with the last name jolly)
