Christmas Carols according to a 2 year old

"Feliz Navi-Mommy, Feliz Navi-Gabriela." (this didn't happen until Lane used his worst Spanish accent ever and said feliz naviDAD) Gracias, Lane.

"Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way, Old MacDonald had a farm, E I E I O"  Although, since Gabriela has spent the last month singing Jingle Bells to herself every waking moment, she's pretty much got it down now.  She's even started singing Batman smells every once in a while, thanks to Chaney and Papa for teaching her the cool kids version.

You remember Jollie, Gabriela's imaginary friend?   Well she gets very upset when you sing, "have a holly JOLLY Christmas" She sternly tells you, 'It's not Holly Jollie!!!' like you're saying her friend's name incorrectly. 

She also doesn't like it when Santa Claus comes right down Santa Claus Lane.  Cos she knows her daddy's name is Lane Grover and not Santa Claus Lane.  And I'm the one who taught it to her so I should know better or something.

Whenever we hear music in the car, Gabriela asks if we're hearing a Christmas song. Her eyes light up and her jaw drops open whenever she hears a song that she recognizes. The songs she gets most excited about are:

Jingle Bells
Jingle Bell Rock
Frosty the Snowman
Santa Claus is Coming to Town
Silver Bells
We Wish You a Merry Christmas
