If you live to be 93, Mel Tormé doesn't want you to have a Merry Christmas.
In one of the most covered songs of all time, his "The Christmas Song" the "simple phrase" of wishing the aforementioned Merry Christmas only extends "to kids from one to ninety-two." If you happen to live to see a 93rd year the writer of the song apparently thinks you've had enough merry Christmases.
Come December... well, it seems "the Velvet Fog" is offering another simple phrase for kids who are over 92: It hasn't been said but distinctly implied, it truly sucks to be you.
Go sit quietly for another seven years and maybe you'll get a mention on the Today Show.

Personally, I think you 93+ folks deserve as good a holiday as all those young whipper-snappers, but that's just me.
