The Heist

So the Christmas season is upon us. We just went Christmas caroling last Saturday, but as we were singing, I was wondering who some of these Christmas characters were. So I did some research. The following will include a short description of the character and a picture from Google images.

1. Miss Fanny Bright
Well, the infamous, promiscuous Miss Fanny Bright from the holiday classic, Jingle Bells. I am not able to open the website that seems to hold the answer to who Miss Fanny Bright so I'll just read the little caption under the website on Google. It seems that Miss Fanny Bright was in an 1860 U.S census. She was 11 years old and lived in Connecticut. But after all these years, she has a myspace.

I couldn't find a picture of Miss Bright but here is her maid:2. Jack Frost
I'm familiar with that movie with the dad dying then resurrecting into a snowman or whatever it was. But I wanted to know more. So according to Wikipedia, Jack Frost is an elfish creature who personifies cold weather. The lyrics to The Christmas Song are "Jack Frost nipping at your nose" So a literal interpretation would be an elfish creature pinching your nose. Probably means the cold is freezing your nose off, but whatever. I like the other one better. And like Miss Fanny Bright up there, Jack Frost also has a myspace.

3. The Other Reindeer
"All of the other reindeer, used to laugh and call him names..."
Bully reindeer. Olive the other reindeer doesn't count because he is really just like Will Ferrell in the movie ELF. But I found another blogspot where he gives his opinion about the song as a whole, but he focuses on the other reindeer. You can find it here. It's pretty negative, so look out. No wacky warning sign here, just beware if you are a fan of the song.
The leader of the gang. 4. Parson Brown
The line goes, "In the meadow we can build a snowman, Then pretend that he is Parson Brown, He'll say are you married, We'll say no man, but you can do the job when you're in town." In my research, I've discovered that Parson is a title for like a preacher or something and Brown is just a last name. According to a website I found, he was actually a real person. He even started an orange farm in Florida. But either way, I don't think a snowman is eligible to marry a couple. Preacher or not. Here is another.
