Christmas Song Questions

Okay, so I've been listening to Christmas songs for over a month now, and while I still enjoy listening to them, I do have a few questions that have been plaguing me. In no particular order, here they are...

- Exactly what is figgy pudding, and do people really eat this concoction?
- Where is Dixie's Sunny Shore, and why do people from Pennsylvania head there during the holidays?
- Am I the only one who finds the video for Hall and Oate's "Jingle Bell Rock" just a little creepy?
- Why is Celine Dion allowed to sing Christmas songs...well, any song for that matter?
- What record exec though it would be a good idea to team up Frank Sinatra and Cyndi Lauper for a duet of "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town?"
- What record exec felt the song "I'll Be home With Bells On" (Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton) was actually a good idea?
- Whatever happened to the kid when he finally got his two front teeth? He never wished me a Merry Christmas.
- What sort of person tells ghost stories at Christmastime?
- How exactly does one rock around the Christmas Tree?
- Why is silver and gold the only tree decorations worth singing about? Surely the Hallmark folks can come up with something to combat this.
- Isn't "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas" just a little bit threatening, when you stop and listen to the lyrics?
- Where exactly did the three ships come sailing into on Christmas Day, and who really saw them?
- Why does the male part in "Baby It's Cold Outside" always come off as a person who's probably looking to slip a mickey into the female's drink?

There are plenty more, but this is perhaps the most vexing of questions. I'd love to hear if any of you have answers to any of these. Perhaps there are some obvious ones I've missed?
