Well, BWL, whenever folks chide me for singing "Jingle Bells" after Christmas, I remind them that the song has nothing to do with Christmas!
I've ofen thought this. Nothing to do with Christmas
Similar to THE UNICORN being associated with St. Patrick's Day. No mention of Ireland and it was written by a Jewish guy from Chicago; Shel Silverstein. For some reason people think it should be sung on St. Patrick's Day.
