    I'm aware Fantano is joking about White Christmas.
    The song annoys me anyway despite liking the non lyric aspects. Why would you want it to be a white Christmas as in snow? One, it makes driving dangerous and two yeah it's totally gonna be a happy time when someone wrecks and dies. Also you may not be able to see your loved ones if the snow is bad enough. Stupid ass song. Therefore the song's lyrics are stupid despite Bing Crosby's voice. Yes I know sledding down a hill is fun, but it ain't worth it if you can't go or if someone dies from the bad weather.
