There's an internet Scrooge going viral for sharing the creepy backstories behind popular Christmas songs. These details really change the meaning of these songs!

Sometimes, it's better to just be ignorant. As they famously say, "you don't want to see how the sausage is made." Same goes with how some of your favorite Christmas songs are made. The stories behind some of these popular songs are dark! Be careful before watching because it might change the way you listen to these songs going forward! Many have to do with death, war, and more! I never would have guessed. Check out the viral video shared on YouTube by astromancy archives below.

Well, that's a major bummer. At least we still have the Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas song. Nobody can take that from us. No crazy backstory there. Just adorable chipmunks. Happy holidays!

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
