The Nonsensical Lyrics: The whole world needs, a Christmas dream.
We need it to warm us, to calm us, to love us, To help us to dream our Christmas dream! Why They're Nonsensical: Nice song, but can a dream help anybody dream itself? These lines would have us thinking the dream could help dream itself. I don't think so!

"(There's No Place Like) Home For The Holidays"
The Lyrics: I met a man who lived in Tennessee,
And he was headed for Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie. From Pennsylvania folks are travelin' down To Dixie's sunny shore. From Arlantic to Pacific, Gee, the traffic is terrific. Why: Refers to the U.S. States of Tennessee and Pennsylvania. Then refers to Dixie, a name for the southeastern U.S. Then refers to the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, or in the context of the lyrics, arguably more specifically to the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the U.S.
