Ok, now I'm kind of joking around here, but I figure everyone here is old enough to know Santa isn't real, so listen to this song and you will see the first Santa Claus problem. And I suppose I'll do some other holidays whenever I feel like it.
Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
By J. Fred Coots

You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
- While this could be perfectly innocent, if you think, it could be an Angel of Death type thing

He's making a list,
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake-
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
- Santa stalker?
O! You better watch out!
You better not cry.
Better not pout, I'm telling you why.
Santa Claus is coming to town.
Santa Claus is coming to town.


Ok. Now I'm going to bold the sentences you should pay attention to. And I give the reasons why.
I have just turned an innocent Christmas song into a strange looking thing. Funny how these things happen.

And now the fact that Jesus was born around April. Reason why Christmas is when it is: the Pagan winter solstice. And to think about the Pagan winter solstice means you think about the Pagans. Thinking about the Pagans, the Christians burned them at the stake, correct? Bad spin on a holiday.
Not trying to ruin a holiday or anything, just some strange things I noticed.

Santa isn't real,


NOOOOOO!!! Lol.

The second verse you boldened was something that always sounded weird. I never thought of the 1st verse like that though.

^ DAngit Mr. Bord that was my joke :P

A huge amount of fairie tales and little songs like the one above have a morbid history to them.

(And you just can't get away from the morbid, eh moat? :P)

No...not after that video =(.
Morbid Moat. That's me.
And while poking holes in cute, innocent little kids' stuff, here's another one.
Ring Around The Rosies
By Unknown
Ring around the rosy,
A pocket full of posies;
ashes, ashes
we all fall down!

This whole thing is disturbing. It's about the black plague =0. And that killed lots of people.
1st line: Ring around the rosie, I assume it's about the red circle on your skin that is the first sign of the plague.
2nd line: A pocket full of posies. Refers to the fact that some people believed that putting flowers, incense, or other herbal things in your pocket would protect you from the plague
3rd line: Ashes, ashes. Refers to the cremation of bodies killed by the plague
4th line: And we all fall down.This refers to the death of the people afflicted by the plague.

Now the next time you see a little kid singing that song you can scare the ebiliving out of them

Okay the Santa ones did not make sense at all. But I knew about the Ring Around the Rosie. I think everyone has except for little kids.

Santa is definitely a creep. That's why on Christmas night you have to lock all the doors and set a fire in the chimney. That way he'll drop the presents and get out of there ASAP.

No, not at all. I'm talking about disturbing holidays and nursery rhymes. Here's another frightening nursery rhyme. I don't see how people don't notice this; it's really obvious.

Rockabye Baby by Unknown

Rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop,
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock,
And the cradle will fall,
And down will come baby, cradle and all.


Ok. Now pay very close attention to what the lyrics are.

1st line: Rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop,. Ok. Innocent enough. But why on earth would a baby be in a treetop? And rock-a-bye? It's as if someone is saying goodbye to the baby, as if they were going to leave, or die.
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock, Innocent enough again, but would be frightening for a baby.
And the cradle will fall,. Ok. Here's where it gets interesting. And the cradle will fall? Oh no!
And down will come baby, cradle and all.. Ok. Really dark, here. And down will come baby? Babies can die from falling down the stairs. But from a treetop. Survival Chances: 0% or somewhere around there.

Think about that next time your parents sing that to your baby brother/sister...
