At Christmas, for the last several years, my horse has tailored a popular Christmas carol to make her seasonal opinion known, and as always, I have opted to share it with others, because I believe most horses think pretty much the way mine does (that is, food is all-important):

I'm dreaming of a tasty Christmas ---

Treats coming in a steady flow.

Give me cookies, candy;

Mint chocolate’s dandy;

And I love carrots, don’t you know.

I'm dreaming of a tasty Christmas,

With every treat I’ve ever seen.

May my hay be fit for a queen,

And may all my Christmases be green.

As always, my horse will definitely get some extra treats to celebrate the holiday, so it should be a good one for both of us.  May you and your horses also celebrate the day with wonderful gifts for the people and good food for the horses.  Happy holidays and a wonderful 2015 to all!

Note:

Because I have not posted here before, our previous Christmas carols are below, for those who might be interested:

2011

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my person gave to me

Twelve licorice nuggets,

Eleven oatmeal cookies,

Ten animal crackers,

Nine butterscotch candies,

Eight wheat bread slices,

Seven banana muffins,

Six shiny apples,

Five seed-less grapes,

Four peppermints,

Three carrots,

Two sugar cubes,

And a watermelon-flavored horse treat.

2012

Deck my stall with hay and sweet feed, Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.

Tis the time to eat at light speed, Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.

I will don my gayest halter, Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la.

Feed me more; please do not falter, Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.

See the empty trough before me. Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.

Filling it will never bore me. Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.

Follow me in merry measure, Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la,

While I get my Yuletide treasure, Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.

Fast away the old year passes, Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.

I need oats and more molasses, Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.

Sing we joyous all together, Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la.

I’ll eat more in this cold weather, Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.

2013

Dashing through the snow
With a one-horse open sleigh,
Hope to hear a whoa

So I can stop for hay.
Bells on harness ring,
Making me uptight.
I wish that all they’d do is sing
Their sleighing song tonight.

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way ---
I believe it’s too much work
To pull this heavy sleigh --- Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way ---
I’m convinced it’s too much work
To pull this heavy sleigh!
