Your Turn: He Knows If You've Been Bad or Good

Onward Christian Soldiers? Santa Baby? “Sleigh” Bells? Do You Hear What I Hear?  All I Want For Christmas is My Two Front Teeth? I’ll Be Home For Christmas?

I was wondering what you make of this Christmas Day photo so widely published in the galleries yesterday. Was it just a little holiday humor, or is there more to it than that? (Caption with the appended info below.)
