Silly Christmas Lyric meme

Mark Leslie started a meme last week, and I feel it's necessary to keep it going, especially since Castpost still has its head up its ass and I can't post music.

The Rules: Pick a Christmas lyric that you've always had a question about and discuss it. Then either tag one or more people or either tag nobody and invite your readers to tag themselves and enjoy discussing the subject on their own.
    Up On the Housetop
    Up on the housetop, reindeer pause
    Out jumps good ol' Santa Claus
    Down through the chimney with lots of toys
    All for the little ones, Christmas joys
    Ho, Ho, Ho! Who wouldn't go?
    Ho, Ho, Ho! Who wouldn't go?
    Up on the housetop, click, click, click
    Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick

    First comes the stocking of little Nell
    Oh, dear Santa, fill it well
    Give her a dolly that laughs and cries
    One that will open and shut her eyes
    Ho, Ho, Ho! Who wouldn't go?
    Ho, Ho, Ho! Who wouldn't go?
    Up on the housetop, click, click, click
    Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick

    Next comes the stocking of little Will
    Oh, just see what a glorious fill
    Here is a hammer and lots of tacks
    Also a ball and a whip that cracks
    Ho, Ho, Ho! Who wouldn't go?
    Ho, Ho, Ho! Who wouldn't go?
    Up on the housetop, click, click, click
    Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick.
OK, first off,"reindeer pause...". I swear to God that I thought reindeer had paws. I first started doubting the whole Santa Claus story when I heard about reindeer hooves. Can't people get their stories straight?? Which is it? Paws or hooves??

"All for the little ones..." What about the big ones? Santa's sorta on the big side. Was probably a big one when growing up. Don't the big one's get some of the loot?

"Ho, ho, ho..." Yeah, we've all laughed at Santa for promoting the prostitution thing here, but does he have to bring them "down through the chimney", too? Hell yeah, who wouldn't go??

"...stocking of little Nell...Santa, fill it well..." What? Is this taken from Penthouse Forum? Santa's to sneak into the house and "fill her stocking" (wink, wink)? That's just ick... And to give her a dolly that just laughs, cries, opens and shuts her eyes?? No wonder girls didn't do well in science fields! This is what's going to stimulate their minds???

"...stocking of little Will (snicker)...what a glorious fill..." Little Willie must not be so little! Which you'd expect from guy who's getting a hammer, tacks, a ball and a whip. Sounds like the training materials for a great Dom. Little Nell needs to watch out!

Still haven't figured out what's clicking upon the housetop....

I don't tag people, so if you have some sort of Christmas lyric problem, then by all means, do it!
