Deck the hall with hunks of holly

It is the time of year where one is obliged to give thanks to Shane McGowan and Kirsty MacColl. When shops are playing Frosty the Snowman and Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree on some kind of homicide-inducing loop, there is exactly one non-execrable Christmas Song.

And, owing to checking a spelling there, I have just learnt that execrable and excreable are different words.

I suggest you mean allegory. They're more common in songs, although I'm not so sure you find them in New York.

I know what I mean.

You were just hoping I couldn't find a pciture of an allegory, weren't you?

(Anyway, that's just a handbag, or a pair of boots. I guess, you do find them in songs.)

What you really want to do is cite song references, and I don't think Flanders and Swann will help you on this one ;-)

Like "See you later, alliogator" ?

I don't think that's a picture of an allegory, it's a picture which is an allegory. So this is a picture of an allegory.

And surely there are plenty of songs about alligators.

Although I prefer the tree sort myself.
