MOST WONDERFUL TIME?

For the past couple of weeks, we as an office have been enjoying the wonderment of Holiday tunes. We have enjoyed songs like Santa Baby, Grandma got Ran Over by a Reindeer, and my personal favorite, Little Saint Nick by the Beach Boys. Sorry to say there is a lone song that has been giving me mixed feelings. I have found myself becoming petty and immature about just 5 little words. Can you guess which ones?

It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Andy Williams

It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you "Be of good cheer"
It's the most wonderful time of the year

It's the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings
and gay happy meetings
When friends come to call
It's the hap- happiest season of all

There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories
of Christmases long, long ago

It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It's the most wonderful time of the year

There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of Christmases long, long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year

There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time of the year

The line that has me perplexed in this holiday pet would be “There’ll be scary ghost stories.” For days I have been contemplating if I have ever told a haunted tale during this most wonderful time, and the answer is NO! That’s until I was proved wrong by my co-worker Trevor. He informed me that that scrupulous line refers to the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Future, from the well-known Dickens classic.
I am now well-disposed to this song, and think the lyrics are ingenious. Hats off to Mr. Andy Williams!!!
