Carol Confusion



"Mom, who's Timmy?"

"I'm not sure who you mean."

"In that Christmas song. It goes, 'Timmy's having a wonderful Christmastime.'"

"No, they're saying 'Simply having a wonderful Christmastime.'"

"Oh. Okay... So who's Timmy then?"

  1. I'd also like to know who Carol is.

  2. AND why exactly she so confused? Or could it be he? Mr. Carol O'Connor back from the dead?

  3. At age 3, I wondered who the Round Yon Virgin was in Silent Night. By about age 5, I had learned who the Virgin Mary was from my father's art books, and I decided the Round Yon was that halo always around her in Medieval and Renaissance art. After all, the halo is ROUND.

  4. And I will forever think of a halo as a "round yon!" xo

    1. I still ALWAYS picture a Renaissance Madonna -- with a prominent halo -- whenever I get to that line of the song. :)
