Can't even call a reindeer a 'jingle horse' these days...

Jingle horse has always weirded me out, but it's doubtful that it originally referred to reindeer.

Anyone else blindsided by this "Italian Christmas Donkey" song? Everyone I work with seems to think it's a universally beloved holiday classic, but I swear I've never heard or even heard of it. Plus it is horrible.

No, just Mainers from Maine. Wikipedia sez it's a UK thing?
In the United Kingdom, the song was used extensively on the BBC Radio 1 morning programme The Chris Moyles Show in reference to Newsbeat newsreader and regular show contributor Dominic Byrne around the Christmas 2011 period. It appeared in the Singles Chart in that country following a campaign by Chris Moyles. In the week leading up to Christmas of 2011, the show hinted at users to download the song from iTunes and Amazon. This led to the song being the #2 song on the British iTunes chart between December 19–25, 2011.[4] The song eventually peaked at #3 on the UK Singles Chart for the week ending December 31, 2011.
Please to curb your donkey.
