thebratqueenYou know the song "Happy Holidays"?
I only just realized this weekend that one of the lines in it is "Let the merry bells keep ringing".
For years now I thought the line was "Let the maribels keep ringing."
I figured maribels were some kind of flower, or maybe some part of a quaint 1950s Christmas custom that we don't do anymore so nobody my age knows what a maribel is.
I suppose "merry bells" makes sense too, but now I'll never know what a maribel looks like.
