The Boston Pops arrangement of Sleigh Ride is, like, one of at my absolute favourite Christmas songs.  That cracking whip?  Classic.  And the trumpet/horse at the end - could that be any more perfect?  
I have never tasted a figgy pudding, nor any kind of nog, egg or otherwise.  And I'm not about to start.
When I was little, about four or five years old, I could sing Jingle Bells, in both official languages (in French, it's Vive le Vent).  But in the English version, I didn't get the line, "Bells on Bobtail ring."  I heard and therefore sang,  "Bells on Cocktail ring".   I didn't know from bobtails, but cocktails?  No problem! Give me another Shirley Temple and make it a double this time.
