Favorite Christmas Carol

I love to read the small town newspapers. I like to look for grammatical errors. Most of the time, you can find about 5 pretty easily on every page. I also love hearing some of the stories. The Angier Independent had a story on the front page about a man who found an emu. An emu had been found and he was trying to find the owner. It is amazing what you find in these small town newspapers.
My favorite thing I read in the Angier Independent last night was the question and answer section. They were asking kids what their favorite Christmas Carols were. This one kid's answer was Old MacDonald Had a Farm. I thought it was hilarious. I did not know this was a Christmas Carol.
It is sad though. How much can this kid understand the true meaning of Christmas if this was his answer. I don't know. I don't want to read much into some six year old's answer in a small town newspaper. I do know, however, that there are alot of kids out there who don't understand what Christmas is all about. I just hope we don't forget the meaning of Christmas in all of the hustle and bustle of commercialism.

My favorite Christmas Carol is Jingle Bells. Does that make me a misguided 47 year old? LOL
