Back on schedule! Here are two members of the United States Navy, with a nifty rendition of Leroy Anderson’s “Sleigh Ride”.

Yesterday was something of a train wreck, folks. Not awful, but a few time-consuming inconveniences happened at the end of the day that occupied my attention for what was left of my day. But we’re back in the saddle! Here’s yesterday’s selection, which is a rendition of “Carol of the Bells” that I just heard this morning. Time is weird, huh?

Anyway, this performance is by a group called “BarlowGirl”. I’d never heard of them until this very tune popped up on a Christmas music channel at work. Apparently they were a Christian music group that disbanded some years ago. I’m not much for that genre so I doubt I’ll be exploring much farther than their Christmas music, but as far as this song goes, they have some really nice vocal harmonies going on. I’ve never much liked “Carol of the Bells”, but this is actually impressive.

I seem to be leaning toward the funnier end of the pool this year, at least at the outset of this month’s Christmas offerings. Here is Allan Sherman, who I think of as one of Weird Al Yankovic’s forebears….

A non-musical selection this time! Here’s a Saturday Night Live sketch in which Alec Baldwin parodies his role in the ruthless-businessmen drama movie Glengarry Glen Ross. This time he’s sent to motivate Santa’s elves!

As I’ve noted before, I really loved Donna Summer. So here she is.

It’s December at last! Here we go!
