Pickles by Brian Crane for December 23, 2018

The Twelve Days of Christmas is the one carol I don’t like. The constant repeating just gets to me.

somewhat similarly, I have a friend who says the Transformers are robots in “the skies” rather than “disguise”

Paw, ah, I mean hoof GripOns.

Earl is looking at the glass as half empty.

Ask grandma, Earl

When I was very young on the Jingle Bells song I sang “Bells on cocktail ring” instead of bobtail!

My first wife was actually teaching her first graders that it was “paws” like “feet” until another teacher heard her and set her straight.

Take a chill pill Earl and enjoy the season ! Opal will do all the work anyways ;-)

A radio station that I listen to asked their viewers on their Facebook page to list the song that they couldn’t stand….the ones that “won” were “Last Christmas” by Wham….and anything by Mariah Carey…

Well…I always heard it as ’Paws" too.

Earl’s rendition sounds like it should be a Jeff Dunham with Walter piece

Bad Christmas song? Let’s list some of them here: “We Need a Little Christmas”… “Do They Know It’s Christmas”… “Wonderful Christmastime”… “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer”.. “Please Daddy Don’t Get Drunk This Christmas”…

and the weirdest one I heard lately: “Dominick the Donkey”.

There are others to be sure… but these, including the “Twelve Days of Christmas”, the “Jingle Bells” dogs, and even Alvin and the Chipmunks, are surely those that can make me CRINGE :-P

After hearing Christmas music every day for the last several weeks, I’m pretty tired of all of it.

I think Earl must have seen “The Santa Clause”

When it used to get to me, I’d imagine them sung by Bob Dylan in his sing-song nasally voice. But you can’t do anything to ameliorate Christmas songs by the Chipmunks!

Bells on Bob’s tail right?

Why are people so “offended” by Christmas songs? They are meant to ENTERTAIN. Don’t get your panties in a knot. Enjoy the entertainment and stop taking it so seriously.

Nine reindeer. Do you recall the most famous reindeer of all?

Joy to the World is ‘second coming’ song – not meaning to be used today. Many of the other Christmas ‘classic’ carols are bathed in lie, too. They don’t fit the Scriptures – and actually, the entire Nativity scene is totally incorrect. and to top if off, Jesus is NOT the reason for the season. There! None of Christmas fits Scriptures – except the birth of Jesus… from that point on, Christmas is about as unscriptural as Hillary would make a good presidente!

Magic prevents the reindeer and sleigh from falling. It’s as simple as that.

Well…………………… he kept her from SINGING – Mission Accomplished..!!

Mr. Grump.

I went to hear the Schizophrenia Choir at the hospital sing “Do you hear what I hear?”

Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer. [SHUDDER]

a xmas mondegreen! cool.

Me 75, she 62…..this comic is great…..pegs us almost daily!

I get really annoyed when singers decide to put their own “spin” on songs – any song, not just Christmas songs. I’ve heard atrocious version of the national anthem and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Sing it the way it was written, or write your own danged song!

Earl, are you still trying to find Round John Virgin in your Nativity scene, and Gladly, the cross eyed bear under the tree?
