Depending on what type of frolicking they were doing, he well might have.
If they didn’t want to be interrogated, why did they build him in the first place? 
To watch him melt like a bad guy in an Indiana Jones flick.
Glad to know God doesn’t fat shame the mother of Jesus.
Joseph on the other hand…
One of the things I loved about the animate Christmas special Olive, the Other Reindeer is that, like the title character, whose name is a mondegreen (from “all of the other reindeer”), other characters also have mondegreen names, namely “Round John Virgin” (from 'round yon virgin") and Richard Stans (from the Pledge of Allegiance – " …and to the Republic, for which it stands…")
I haven’t read the book this was based on, so I don’t know if they carried this over from there.
The Methodist Youth Fellowship group I was in had a running gag during retreats. If a boy and a girl from some other group were walking hand in hand, someone from our group would invariably say, “They’re brother & sister.”
No? The two pies of Christmastime are pumpkin and pecan. Mince/custard sounds like some weird foreign thing.
Hot Chocolate for kids and adults who don’t drink coffee, coffee for the other adults.
American here, and my Mom always made mince pie for herself at Christmas. None of us were interested in it. And Christmas isn’t for pies, it’s for cookies! 
But it’s about Christmas Eve, snow and bars not being open. It’s appropriate for the season. 
Oddly, I never figured that Parson Snowman Brown was tsk-tsking the unmarried frolicking couple. I figured that he was just doing some business marketing, fishing for the exact response that he got. “Are you in the market for weddings? High-quality matrimonial ceremonies, for a reasonable price!”
No, the animated version pretty much was completely made up for the show. The book was just about a little dog named Olive who mondegreened the Rudolph song, decided that she was a reindeer and went to the North Pole to help out.
We had mince pies as well as pumpkin, too. Served with hard sauce, which really wasn’t very saucy, more like buttercream frosting with a shit-ton of brandy in it.
Mince pie is the pie analogue to fruitcake, which is another Christmas tradition that some people have all to themselves due to lack of interest from others.
Like everything else he touches, Bob Rivers vastly improves on My Favorite Things.
“After Queen Victoria, an extremely popular monarch, started celebrating Christmas with fir trees and presents hung on the branches as a favor to her husband, the layfolk immediately followed suit.”
Depends on what that frolicking entails.
Not really, because while the first line (“Si-i-lent Night, Ho-o-ly Night”) indulges in this–6 syllables, 8 notes–most of the rest of the song doesn’t:
“All is calm, all is bright” (6 syllables, 6 notes)
“Round yon vi-ir-gin, mother and child” (8 syllables, 9 notes)
“Holy infant, so tender and mild” (9 syllables, 9 notes)
"Sleep in heavenly pe-eace, sle-ep in heavenly peace (12 syllables, 14 notes)
This takes a few liberties but isn’t that bad and nowhere near as atrocious and pervasive as in “The First Noel”.
Is *that *what the kids called it back then?
Mince pie instead of…uh, what is it you eat that you have decided everyone else should eat and that you scorn them for not eating instead?
A line from the heading of Chapter 15 of Pudd’nhead Wilson springs to mind here.
Well according to aunt Wikipedia those lines were in the original Latin verses…
