I don’t know why I didn’t notice this last year (it’s not like I’m less sleep-deprived this year, after all) but Carolyn’s name is in a lot of Christmas carols.<\/p>\n
For example, from “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year”:<\/p>\n
There’ll be parties for hosting,
\nmarshmallows for roasting,
\nand Carolyn out in the snow.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n(Poor Carrie, I hope she doesn’t get cold out in the snow!)<\/p>\n
From “Caroling, Caroling”:<\/p>\n
Carolyn, Carolyn, now we go,
\nChristmas bells are ringing.
\nCarolyn, Carolyn, through the snow,
\nChristmas bells are ringing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n(And again with the snow…)<\/p>\n
There are more, I just can’t think of them off the top of my head. It’s probably a little confusing to Carrie. Like when we discuss who’s going to carry her to the car or up the stairs. Poor munchkin. I’m sure her name will be an endless source of torment in middle school. (Especially if her classmates ever find out that we called her “munchkin”!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
