"Have A Holly Jolly Christmas"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet.
Why They're Nonsensical:
Darn! I knew I was getting something wrong. I'm forever saying hello to friends I don't know and people I don't meet!

"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
... But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all
Why They're Nonsensical:
The lyrics assume that you know the other reindeer, but must ask if you know the most famous reindeer? Wouldn't it make more sense to assume you know Rudolf, but don't recall Dasher and Dancer... ?
