  • Oppose It's actually a mixture of "Deck the Halls" and "'Tis a gift to be simple", "The Twelve Days of Christmas", and maybe a couple others. While well-performed, it lacks encyclopedic value as it could mislead listeners as to what the song contains. Adam Cuerden (talk) 17:28, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    • The rest isn't that weird - it's a fairly common sort of variation on a theme. Unfortunately, however acceptable musically, it could, again, confuse the naïve listener. Adam Cuerden (talk) 15:44, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
