Believe this story got pulled earlier, because of it being from a non reliable source.

“Jingle Bells” is NOT really a Christmas carol! It is a winter song.

No mention of Jesus Christ, His Incarnation, His birth from a human Mother, etc.

We have several winter songs that allow our non-Christian friends to celebrate Christmas along with us. But they remain winter songs, not Christmas carols or hymns.

Soon, however, the feminazi crowd will find ways to decry real Christmas hymns—even Orthodox troparia—as racist” and “bigoted”. Phooey, anyway!

The wisdom on offer in ‘The Boy Who Cried Wolf’ is apparently over the pointy little heads of this nitwit and her ilk.

That idiot Kyna is sure to label it racist along with every other song composed by non-minorities.

Kyna . . .

What's a "Kyna"? Then again, I'm not sure I want to know.

You must not be from the upper classes. You jingle a little bell to summons your domestic to come and fetch what you need. If you need it in a hurry and they are slow, you jingle it all the way until they get to you.

So “Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle all the way” is really a commentary of chastisement of your slow moving darkie.

The sleigh, of course, is a sleigh bed, where you have your one ho (later Bowdlerized to ‘horse’). This being a family friendly site, I won’t go into further detail.

Think I can get a job as an English prof at a University?

And I was told that “Baby, it’s cold outside” is misogynist and promotes rape culture.

I call it the 'Date Rape Song'. Listen to the lyrics - after he fails to talk her into bed, he spikes her drink.

Sounds like your a natural for a university career.

Nicely done. If you want a third party to link a university staff member to your post, let me know.

According to the Medford Historical Society, the song was inspired by the town's popular sleigh races during the 19th century.

Thus I doubt the claim and label it hogwash.

The version I learned as a kid sounds like NRA propaganda:

"Jingle bells, shotgun shells,
Jingle all the way...."

But maybe those weren't the original lyrics.

Of course those were the original lyrics. Next thing you know somebody's going to be telling us that "Walking 'Round In Women's Underwear" weren't the original lyrics. I'll keep my traditions, thank you very much.
