Lots of good songs here, and good memories. Thanks.
Do you remember this Gene Autry song?
"Up On The Housetop"
Up on the house top reindeer paws
Out jumps good old Santa Claus
Down through the chimney with lots of toys
All for the little ones, Christmas joys
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Up on the house top, click, click, click!
Down through the chimney with Old St. Nick"
I have always passed right over the "click, click, click." I thought it was just filler and had no meaning. This week I found out differently.
Reindeer's feet make a "clicking" sound when they walk. It helps them keep the herd together in snow storms and fog, when visibility is bad, which happens a lot in their environment. I have no idea how Gene Autry knew that.
