There are a lot of them, but one of the dumbest ever written is I Saw Three Ships. The song says that the singer (the witness) saw three ships sail into Bethlehem on Christmas Day.
It's dumb because anyone who has access to a fucking map can tell that Bethlemen is at least thirty miles from the nearest seaport (Ashdod).
And nobody riding in a one-horse open sleigh is going to be laughing. Shivering, maybe.

Could've had wheels of fire ...
Laughing in a one horse open sleigh depends on how much they had to drink before they left.
"Pass me a pint" is my new favorite Christmas carol.
I hope you have "The Shepherd" teed up for Saturday.
Oh, you know it! Check back at 2215 EST on the 24th.
The Dropkick Murphys have the best Christmas songs.

Doug, I prefer the seasonal effort by Fear.
Actually the song jingle Bells doesn't even mention Christmas but it seems to be always sung around that time. Another thought, maybe the three ships were the spaceships that brought the Magi or the ones with the laser beams that MTG believes in and that's why the Middle East has some many non-forested areas.
My favorite Christmas jingle.
