  • @FluffyPonBomb ahh scew you

  • @wildnites558 Thanks for sharing that! ..It's harmless! I'm a Christian and am not offended at all! It's good to giggle! =D

  • Yeah, really. This song came out in '79 and only a few radio stations would play it because supposedly radio stations would get call from irate older listeners who found it offensive. But the younger classic-rock radio crowd found it kind of funny and ironic, fitting in nicely with Saturday Night Live style satire which was hot at the time --- even tho' it's not a rock song. In the early 80s WNEW FM in NY started playing it heavily during the holiday season and it took off from there.

  • why the heck was the Grandma drinking Eggnog if she was taking medication!

  • lol!!!! 

  • this song came out when i was 20 years old. I fall in love in with it then and still love it 30 years later when i am 52 years. I was not even legal when this came out I listened to it every christmas and even brought it on a cd.

  • I love this song, someone text me Hey Grandma, and they know i choose to be called Queen T so i sent them this son in love and fun saying Grandma got ran over by a reindeer.laughter is meds to the soul and this song is fun, ive enjoyed for years now.

  • I had no idea this song came out in 1979! I thought it was a mid 80's song to be honest and remember it being played yearly when I was a teenager in the 80's! I feel old now! Well, going on 42 now and this song brings back good memories to say the least! Sing It Grandpa!

  • I love this, it just makes you smile. because, it is not religious, or anything but cute> Thanks to the vet who wrote and sang it
