Anchovies are an acquired taste. They are not a main course, but a seasoning. When you cook them with the garlic in olive oil, they won't break up in the oil. You have to add water in order to get them to break up into a kind of powder.

It's quite good, but I know people who just don't like the taste.

BALTIMORE CONSORT: BRIGHT DAY STAR

We aren't the first generation to decry the commercialization of Christmas. William Chappell, editor of a collection of such ballads, explained it as thus. "So long as landlords received their rents in kind, their barns and stores were full, they were lavish of hospitality to the country folk at Christmas. When rents began to be paid in less bulky forms of money, luxury increased and ladies began to spend more on their dress." This song is wonderfully funny, and the arrangement emphasizes the humor.
