family sing along

Ella, Skip and I were just singing a lively round of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer", not forgetting all the little things you shout after each line. Ella apparently has learned them in school. Here's one she sang that we didn't get. Maybe you can help. It's like Mad Gab, really.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say,
LIKE THE KETCHUP!
"Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Ketchup? Huh? What do condiments have to do with Santa and Rudolph?

Well, Rudolph's nose is red and ketchup is red so it kinda, sorta works. Ok, maybe not.

I think the bigger issue here is what exactly is the ketchup, like Santa, coming to say? I've eaten my share of ketchup but have never (yet) had a conversation with it.

I got this whole thing cleared up. It's not "Like the ketchup!" but "PASS the ketchup!" Apparently Santa likes his fries with ketchup.
