The Christmas Song
Rosé Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas




Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you

@greenpeasuit

​@@imboredlollllthere is nothing any more racist about the term Eskimo than there is about the term British. It is just a term used to describe a group of peoples from a specific region.

British refers to Irish, Scottish, English or Welch, all of whom come from the British Isles.

Eskimo refers to a Inuit, Aleutian, and others that live in the extreme north. It comes from the term the Algonquin used to refer to them and translates to "those who lace a snow shoe".

There is nothing racist about the term. It is not derogatory or belittling. It just describes a group of peoples with similar characteristics. There is no slur.

Quit falling for the lame internet virtue signaling losers that want to fake insult on someone else's behalf. Just as I have never yet met a single person from Latin America who refers to themselves as latinx. It is only non-latins or American born and raised English soeaking Latin descendants steeped in euro-american culture that are pushing that term.
