Ricochet Christmas Music Fight Club: The Incredible Second Fight!

Like the Ricochet Movie Fight Club of happy memory and the still-living Ricochet Dueling Book Club, the Ricochet Christmas Music Fight Club is a place for fighting to the death over who has the best answer to a selected question of the week.  I plan to post the RCMFC around Friday or Saturday each week until Christmas.  Whoever’s answer gets the most likes wins!  The winner of the first four fights selects the question for the next week.

In addition to the joys of verbal combat, let’s remember that the RCMFC is meant to be a place for sharing beautiful Christmas music. Let’s have fun!

Last week’s battle saw @andrewmiller victorious with the Muppets’ version of “Carol of the Bells”!  This week, Andrew asks us:

What is one of your favorite light-hearted Christmas songs?

You know what to do now: Answer the question, and fight about it!

(Reminders: Fight, but don’t be a jerk.  And share some Christmas joy even if we are pretending to be fighting!)

    I guess I’m so used to “ride in a one-horse open sleigh” that the lack of syllables in your version trips me up.  But you youngsters can go ahead and enjoy your gingerbread version.  :-)

    Does anyone actually sing all those syllables distinctly?  Other than an annoying Amy Grant version, I think I’ve only heard it with syllables mashed together, like “onehorse.”

    I guess that’s another thing I do because I’m “old.”  But, yes I do.

    Oh! That makes all the difference. Your way does need the additional syllables.

    Well, even if you say “onehorse” fast it’s still 2 syllables.

    2 syllables and 1 unit of time.
