Why are there so many Christmas songs, yet hardly any New Year's ones? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

At least according to Wikipedia, the original The One Horse Open Sleigh was possibly intended as a drinking song. That's also what I heard from someone I know, so that's what stuck with me.

Jingle Bells was originally drinking song, not related to Christmas at all.

I wish my employer did that. Instead, people go freely back with their company issued phones and notebooks. 🙄 All the security we have as certification requirements is moot when we bring these devices back into our network like it's totally fine.
