We're in trouble with Samantha's piano teacher, Mrs. Geinger.
All of her students are practicing Christmas carols for a holiday recital at the Cheese Factory. (that phrase, "holiday recital at the Cheese Factory", should sound much weirder to me than it actually does). Anyways, Samantha apparently drew a blank on several classics, Oh Come all ye faithful, Star of Bethlehem, The First Noel, etc. When she was asked if she knew, "Joy to the World" Samantha was relieved to finally be able to say yes, she knew that one!
"It starts out, "Jeremiah was a bullfrog!", she answered enthusiastically.
Mrs. Geinger looked at us and said, "You need to teach this child some Christmas carols."
I blame Chuck - ever holiday he breaks out his own version of holiday music (which Samantha knows every song by heart) Examples:
The Twelve Gifts of Christmas
nuttin' for Christmas

The Twelve Gifts of Christmas
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
A Japanese transistor radio.
On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
Green polka-dot pajamas,
And a Japanese transistor radio.
(It's a Nakashuma.)
On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
A calendar book with the name of my insurance man,
Green polka-dot pajamas,
And a Japanese transistor radio.
nuttin' for Christmas
I broke my bat on Johnny's head;
Somebody snitched on me.
I hid a frog in sister's bed;
Somebody snitched on me.
I spilled some ink on Mommy's rug;
I made Tommy eat a bug;
Bought some gum with a penny slug;
Somebody snitched on me.
Oh, I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad.
I'm getting nuttin' for Christmas
'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad.
Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer
Grandma got runned over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas Eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
She'd been drinkin' too much eggnog,
And we'd begged her not to go.
But she'd left her medication,
So she stumbled out the door into the snow.
When they found her Christmas mornin',
At the scene of the attack,
There were hoof prints on her forehead,
And incriminatin' Claus marks on her back.
Grandma got runned over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas Eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
